Paramount has revealed the official trailer for the thriller September 5 [SEPT5] base on the real events of the 1972 Munich Summer Olympics. When terrorists took Israeli athletes hostage, the sports broadcasting team at ABC quickly pivoted from reporting the competition to live coverage of the crisis. September 5 opens in select theatres on November 29 and expands nationwide on December 13.
Through this lens, "September 5" provides a fresh perspective on the live broadcast seen globally by an estimated one billion people at the time. At the heart of the story is Geoff (John Magaro), a young and ambitious producer striving to prove himself to his boss, the legendary TV executive Roone Arledge (Peter Sarsgaard). Together with German interpreter Marianne (Leonie Benesch) and his mentor Marvin Bader (Ben Chaplin), Geoff unexpectedly takes the helm of the live coverage. As narratives shift, time ticks away, and conflicting rumors spread, with the hostages' lives hanging in the balance, Geoff grapples with tough decisions while confronting his own moral compass.
