7 Days in Entebbe | Hits U.S. Theaters on Friday, March 9
In 2002, José Padilha stunned audiences with his masterful debut film Bus 174, a tense and riveting documentary about a hostage situation in Rio de Janeiro that was caught on camera. In 2007, Padilha leapt into the scripted world, keeping his documentary roots intact with the brilliant Elite Squad films and hit Netflix series "Narcos." With 7 Days in Entebbe, Padilha recounts another infamous hostage situation: Operation Entebbe, a successful counter-terrorist hostage-rescue mission at Entebbe Airport in Uganda in 1976. The raid has been referred to as the most daring and audacious rescue mission in history. — Matt
