Set during the 1972 Munich Olympics, SEPTEMBER 5 follows the ABC sports broadcasting team as it quickly adapts from sports reporting to live news coverage after Israeli athletes are taken hostage, revealing a decisive moment that forever changed live media. Ambitious producer Geoff Mason (John Magaro) leads the on-air coverage in an effort to prove himself to his boss, legendary TV executive Roone Arledge (Peter Saarsgard). As narratives shift, time ticks away, and conflicting rumors spread—with the hostages lives hanging in the balance—Geoff grapples with tough decisions while confronting his own moral compass in this taut and entertaining thriller. A Paramount Pictures release.
