The hijacking marked the beginning of thirty nerve-wracking hours of fascinating human, military and political drama, inside and outside of the plane. Sabena Hijacking – My Version presents a cinematic reenactment of the events, woven together with genuine archive material and exclusive interviews with three revered Israeli political leaders who were in charge of the rescue effort, as well as the only surviving hijacker.
