Trailer For ‘September 5’ Movie Follows The Olympics Newsroom During 1972 Munich Terrorist Attacks

Buy Me A Coffee

September 5 is coming (and no, it’s not a new Taylor Swift album drop).

Mark your calendars, because this movie crashes into select theaters on November 29, and if you’re not too stuffed with leftover turkey, it’ll roll nationwide on December 13 like an emotional snowball gathering steam. Trust us, this film is bringing more drama than a reality show reunion.

So what’s it about? Glad you asked!
September 5 drags us back to the groovy (but also grim) days of 1972 during the Munich Summer Olympics—where things took a horrifying turn that shook live news coverage to its core. The movie follows a sports broadcasting crew who went from commenting on javelin throws to covering a heart-wrenching hostage situation involving Israeli athletes. Think of it as ESPN meets Breaking News, but without the cheery halftime report.

This isn’t just your average throwback flick—it offers a fresh perspective on one of the first live broadcasts that held the world’s breath. Back then, over a billion people tuned in, probably thinking they were going to see some medal ceremonies, but instead… well, things got real, fast.

Meet the players:
At the center of this emotional rollercoaster is Geoff (played by John Magaro), a wide-eyed, eager producer who’s trying to impress his intimidating, no-nonsense boss, Roone Arledge (Peter Sarsgaard). Spoiler alert: This ain’t your typical “make coffee and fetch donuts” kind of internship.

Helping Geoff keep it together is German interpreter Marianne (Leonie Benesch), who has the dual job of translating and trying not to lose her mind as things spiral, and Marvin Bader (Ben Chaplin), Geoff’s mentor who serves as the Obi-Wan to his Luke—but with more existential dread and fewer lightsabers.

As the crisis unfolds, Geoff gets thrown into the deep end of live broadcasting without water wings, where every decision feels like the final round of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?—but instead of a million bucks, it’s literal lives on the line. Time’s ticking, rumors are flying faster than Olympic sprinters, and Geoff’s moral compass is doing more spinning than a gymnast’s routine.

And yep, there’s a trailer. Probably with just the right amount of tension to have you biting your nails, questioning your life choices, and wondering why you thought a career in media would be a good idea.

This one’s got ambition, drama, and heart—like The Morning Show on steroids. Buckle up, people. December 13 will have you glued to your seat, popcorn clutched in fear, and ready to cancel all your news alerts.
