Achille Lauro - The terror cruise

Directed by Simone Manetti

Written by Giuseppe Bentivegna, Raffaele Brunetti, Vania Del Borgo

An Italian cruise ship carrying passengers from all over the world is hijacked off the coast of Egypt by a Palestinian commando unit. It is the beginning of a three-day ordeal in 1985 that culminates in the murder of an American hostage and an armed clash between two NATO allies to capture his killers.
