Starring Peter Sarsgaard (The Lost Daughter) and John Magaro (Past Lives) and unveiling a decisive moment that forever changed media coverage and continues to impact live news today, September 5 is set during the 1972 Munich Summer Olympics and follows an American broadcasting team as it quickly adapts from sports reporting to live coverage of the Israeli athletes taken hostage at the event. Through this lens, September 5 provides a fresh perspective on a live broadcast that was seen globally by an estimated one billion people.
Geoff (Magaro) is an ambitious young producer striving to prove himself to his boss, legendary TV executive Roone Arledge (Sarsgaard) when, together with his mentor Marvin Bader (Ben Chaplin) and his German interpreter Marianne (Leonie Benesch), he must unexpectedly take the helm of the coverage. As narratives shift, time ticks away, and conflicting rumours spread, with the hostages’ lives hanging in the balance, Geoff must grapple with tough decisions that force him to confront his own moral compass.
