Sword of Gideon

Sword of Gideon

"Sword of Gideon" is a 1986 film about Mossad agents hunting down terrorists associated with the 1972 Munich Massacre in Operation Wrath of God. It was first shown on the CTV network in Canada as a four hour miniseries and later on the HBO television network. Directed by Michael Anderson and written by Chris Bryant, the film stars Steven Bauer and Michael York. The film is based on the book "" by George Jonas, an account of the incident which has been criticized by some intelligence personnel as fictional, though because of its covert nature is difficult to prove or disprove. In some countries the book was titled "Vengeance: Sword of Gideon", from which the movie title is drawn. The story was retold in the 2005 film "Munich" by Steven Spielberg.
