An Italian cruise ship carrying passengers from all over the world is hijacked by a Palestinian commando. It’s the beginning of a three-day ordeal in 1985 that culminates in the murder of an American hostage and an armed standoff between two NATO allies to capture his killers. For the first time the entire story is told by first-hand witnesses from around the world. All of them, including: one of the Palestinian hijackers, who has never spoken on camera; the widow of their leader Abu Abbas; two British hostages; a Swiss mother held hostage with her toddler; the daughters of the American victim; the White House military adviser at the time; the US fighter pilot who forced down the plane carrying the hijackers; the Italian hostess who acted as the hijackers’ interpreter; the Italian base commander who managed the tense military showdown.
