7 Days in Entebbe (internationally released as Entebbe) is a 2018 crime thriller/terrorist drama directed by José Padilha and starring Rosamund Pike and Daniel Brühl. Set over the course of seven days in June-July 1976, the film is the latest recreation of the now famous Operation Thunderbolt, when Israeli commandos of the Sayeret Matkal (commonly known as The Unit) launched a risky counter-terrorist hostage-rescue operation to free hostages from an Air France Airbus A300 which had been hijacked by four members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFPL), including two left-wing Germans (Pike and Brühl), and flown to Entebbe, Uganda in collaboration with the infamous dictator Idi Amin.


The following weapons were used in the film 7 Days in Entebbe:

Handguns

Beretta Model 70

Suppressed Beretta Model 70s are used by The Unit, most notably Yonatan Netanyahu (Angel Bonanni) and Zeev Hirsch (Ben Schnetzer). During the raid, several shots fired from the Beretta infamously failed to stop Ugandan Army sentries, forcing one of the commandos to open fire with an AK-47, giving away surprise.
