SYNOPSIS:
September 5 is a gripping newsroom thriller set during the 1972 Munich Olympics, when Palestinian terrorists took Israeli athletes hostage. As the world watches in horror, ABC Sports chief Roone Arledge (Peter Sarsgaard) and his team scramble to cover the unfolding crisis live, navigating ethical dilemmas, network rivalries, and real-time chaos. Set almost entirely in a broadcast control room, this Oscar nominated film explores the birth of modern live news and the moral weight of reporting tragedy as it happens.
