What exactly happened:
11 Israeli Olympic team members were taken hostage and eventually killed in an attack during the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, West Germany, by the Palestinian group Black September. Shortly after the crisis began, they demanded 234 prisoners jailed in Israel and the German-held founders of the Red Army Faction (Andreas Baader and Ulrike Meinhof) be released. Black September called the operation "Iqrit and Biram", after two Palestinian Christian villages whose inhabitants were expelled by the Haganah in 1948.
Ali Hassan Salameh believed to be the one of the main orchestrator, responsible for the 1972 Munich massacre and other terror attacks.
After Black September's assassination of Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics in 1972, Prime Minister Golda Meir launched Operation "Wrath of God" to hunt down and kill all involved in the massacre. A team of five gathers in Switzerland led by Avner, a low-level Mossad techie whose father was a war hero and whose wife is pregnant. It's an expendable team, but relying on paid informants, they track and kill several in Europe and Lebanon. The operation is believed to have continued for over twenty years.
The movie is about that complete operation. Everything in this movie is just too good. It was not an easy job for mossad agents to look out for the one's responsible for the massacre. They must constantly look over their shoulders for the CIA, KGB, PLO, and their own sources. As the body count mounts, with retribution following retribution, so do questions, doubts, and sleepless nights. Loyalties blur. What does it mean to be a Jew ? It's a must watch movie.
