Daniel Brühl stars as “Wilfred Brose” and Rosamond Pike stars as “Brigitte Kuhlman” in this first trailer for José Padilha’s 7 DAYS IN ENTEBBE.

Focus Features will release the film in select theaters on March 16, 2018.

A gripping thriller inspired by the true events of the 1976 hijacking of an Air France flight en route from Tel Aviv to Paris, the film depicts the most daring rescue mission ever attempted.

There have been two TV movies about the rescue.

RAID ON ENTEBBE (1976) starred Peter Finch, Charles Bronson, Yaphet Kotto and was directed by Irvin Kershner (THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK). It won the Golden Globe for “Best Motion Picture Made for Television.” VICTORY AT ENTEBBE was helmed by Marvin J. Chomsky (TANK) and starred Elizabeth Taylor, Linda Blair, Helen Hayes, Richard Dreyfuss and Burt Lancaster.

The 2017 film is from director José Padilha (“Narcos,” “Elite Squad”) and written by Gregory Burke (“’71”) .
