Don't know if I need to see a third. See the cast on the linky, some huge starpower and this wasn't even the "good" one

I was a wild hellion in those days and don't even recall the real event.
Victory at Entebbe, 1976. Same year as the event. - free.ranger 07:42:59 03/18/18 (1)
That was quick. Looks like everybody wanted a piece of that one.
I was reading up on the "Operation Thunderbolt", as they called it. An interesting flashpoint in history. Entebbe is in Uganda, and the rescue mission was supported by neighboring Kenya. The hijacking was supported by Idi Amin of Uganda. A hundred troops were flown in because Ugandan soldiers were aiding the hijackers.
After the rescue, Amin retaliated by killing hundreds of Kenyans in his country.
Edit: The Raid on Entebbe, the other movie (both made for television) came out a month after Victory in early 1977. It also had a magnum cast of stars, including Charles Bronson. Two films back-to-back, made for tv, and featuring huge casts. And both so quickly after the event.

  It is time Spielberg produced a new version and got nominated for Oscar.
