Customer Reviews of Sword of Gideon
Engrossing Drama of Israeli Agents in Europe Sword of Gideon is the 1986 film which focuses on Avner (Steven Bauer) and his recruitment into the Massad for the purpose of hunting down and killing the Black September terrorists who killed the Israeli Olympic team of 1972. His overseer is well played by Rod Steiger and his team of agents includes Michael York, Robert Joy, and Laurent Malet. They track the terrorists through Europe defusing bombs, hunting down terrorists (including a femme fatale in Karen Racicot), and Avner has second thoughts about the whole mission.
The acting and script is believable if not completely true, gripping and intense. Another good similar film based on John Le Carre's novel is The Little Drummer Girl.
Unforgettable historical drama
Some of the best films are made for television, and this one is no exception.
This film has always been a heart stopper for me and never more than now. Following the events of 09/11/01 and the recently aired documentaries of the tragedy of the 1972 Olympic games, The Sword Of Gideon documents Israel's subsequent counteractions against the perpetrators of Munich. Based on the book "Vengeance" by George Jonas, this classic is brilliantly delivered and features a top notch cast (Stephen Bauer, Michael York, Rod Steiger, Colleen Dewhurst, et.al)
Bauer plays an Israeli soldier hired to head up a secret force of specialists to hunt down the remaining terrorists. However, the assignment soon goes awry and deteriorates into an "eye for an eye" personal quest.
This film is very hard to find but well worth the search. Don't miss it!
