On 29 October 1972, a Lufthansa Boeing 727 was hijacked en route from Beirut to Frankfurt in a bid to release the terrorists captured at the Munich Olympic Games. In this dramatic reconstruction of the terrifying ordeal of the passengers and crew, the people who actually had to decide whether to accede to the hijackers' demands relive the experience and explain the reasons for their conflicting decisions.
