Mivtsa Yonatan / Operation Thunderbolt (1977)

Movie Name ; Mivtsa Yonatan / Operation Thunderbolt (1977) Director: Menahem Golan Language : Hebrew Screenplay: Menahem Golan and Clarke Reynolds Cast:Klaus Kinski, Yehoram Gaon, Sybil Danning, Assaf Dayan, Gila Almagor, Assaf Dayan, Mark Heath PLot ; Based on a True Story. It was Sunday, June 27, 1976, when armed gunmen from the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, together with some German accomplices, hijacked Air France flight 139, diverting it first to Libya and then to dictator Idi Amin's Uganda. With the world looking on, the terrorists separated the Jewish and Israeli passengers from the others, threatening to kill them all if their Palestinian comrades in Israeli jails were not quickly released. Israel of back then was not in the habit of yielding to terrorist blackmail. No international summits were convened. No negotiations with the terrorists were countenanced. Instead Israel reacted - by launching a stunning military raid on July 4, 1976, freeing virtually all the captives and bringing the affair to a sudden and dramatic end. Operation Thunderbolt takes off at lightning speed to bring the riveting story of the ultimate fight for freedom to the screen. A cinematic classic in Israel, Operation Thunderbolt was nominated for an Oscar for Best Foreign Film. This special DVD edition also includes the award winner documentary "Raid on Entebbe" featuring on-camera the training of the forces, headquarter briefings and classified footage following by interviews with top political leaders and military commanders. Mivtsa Yonatan (Hebrew),Operation Thunderbolt was the International Title is the best Isreali movie made on the Rescue mission carried out by the Isreali forces to rescue a french plane carrying French and jewish passangers while it was highjacked midway and taken Entebbee Internatonal airport, the Capital of Uganda,while it was ruled General Idi Amin. Thirty years have passed and the emotional baggage still mostly encumbers upon the souls who operated then, during the week which stretched from Sunday 27 June 1976, when two Germans and two Palestinians hijacked an Air France plane on flight 139 from Tel Aviv to Paris via Athens, to the operation which brought in four Hercules planes from a distance of 3800 kilometers the forces which liberated about a hundred Israeli and Jewish captives. They mostly burden the people who participated then, in order to preserve facts or to change them, to elevate heroes or to cause others to be forgotten. They return and arise over and over leading up to the anniversary, and especially this year, in spite of the great time that has passed. PS; ITS IN HEBREW BUT MAY FIND SUBS ON THE NET. I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR THIS MOVIE ON ALL THE TORRENT SITES BUT COULDNT FIND SO I AM UPLOADING ONE. PLEASE LEAVE COMMENTS About the quality; Considering it a rare movie and possibly available on the VHS i find it quite watchable.

I'm anxious to watch this movie, and I'd appreciate if someone could find English subtitles.

There are no English subs, but this movie sucks anyway. I just got it for Klaus Kinski... turns out everything else is just Rambo for Israelis.

I have found the english .srt for the Operation Thunderbolt movie. I tried to upload, but TPB didn't like the file, 78kb too small i guess, anyway. auto79886702@hushmail email me and I'll email the file to you.

You may be right about Rambo and American movies but you must remember ;
This Particular movie I uploaded is based on true events that unfolded in June 27, 1976, after the highjack of an airplane carrying Jewish passengers heading for Tel Aviv. Israel. No country has ever carried out a tactical military maneuver from 2000 km away.
Americans tried the same but failed completely when their Embassy was taken over by the Iranian Militia in late seventies.
Movies based on true events does send a message though i condemn Israeli politics,bloodshed,suppression and human right violations in occupied areas of Palestine
does that make sense ?

@ everybody Sure hope the .srt works okay for those of you who asked for it. A fellow at immortalseed provided the .srt and it seemed to sink up with my vlc player just fine. I was shocked!! My apologies for the delay in getting back, but it has been tornado alley around here these last couple weeks.
@ajkalla Thank you for the upload. The recent 'stealth' helicopter loss in bin Laden raid (right or wrong) highlights risks in such operations.
