Raid on Entebbe
“The boldest rescue in history”
Synopsis
The film is based on an actual Israeli commando operation. In the story, a Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine hijacks an Air France flight that subsequently lands in Uganda. The hijackers release some passengers but retain 94 Jewish passengers and 12 members of the air crew as hostages. The Israeli government refuses to negotiate, and a rescue plan is formulated; fewer than 100 commandos are flown across Africa to carry out a surprisingly successful operation to free the hostages.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 21
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
