Coming to the home formats next week is one of the most applauded films of the year, September 5, and we have all of the release info courtesy of Paramount Pictures Home Entertainment.
The film is available to buy on April 8th and to rent on April 22nd 2025.
During the 1972 Munich Olympics, a hostage crisis pushes legendary TV executive Roone Arledge (Peter Sarsgaard) to thrust an untested sports producer, Geoff Mason (John Magaro), into the spotlight of breaking news coverage. With lives hanging in the balance and the world watching, this pivotal moment, based on a true story, reshaped journalism forever.
