The contrasts between an event that changed the face of terrorism and an act of terrorism that changed the face of the world are explored in director Ilan Ziv's documentary detailing the September 1970 hijacking of five commercial airliners by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. Unlike the hijackers of September, 11, 2001, the PFLP was not a religious extremist group, but a group of secular Marxist Leninists looking to call attention to a plight that they felt was being ignored by the masses. Though in the end three of the airliners were spectacularly blown up by the militant Palestinian organization, none of the nearly 600 passengers taken hostage were actually killed. Now, more than three decades after the tense events that braced a nation, award-winning producer Ziv conducts interviews with the PFLP, the masterminds behind the attacks, as well as journalists who covered the events, and passengers and crew members of the flights to offer a compelling snapshot of a time in history when innocent civilians became unwilling pawns in the global game of terror. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

For more than 30 years it would be known as ""the blackest day in aviation history."" On September 6, 1970, to attract attention to their cause and secure the release of their comrades, members of a militant Palestinian group hijacked four commercial airplanes. In telling this dramatic story, award-winning producer Ilan Ziv interviews leaders of the militants group, journalists who covered the hijackings, crew members and passengers.
