The drama film September 5, directed and co-written by Swiss filmmaker Tim Fehlbaum, is set to make its streaming debut on Paramount+ in the US and Canada on February 25. The film, which is currently up for the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay, examines a decisive moment that forever changed media coverage and continues to impact live news today. Set during the 1972 Munich Summer Olympics, the film follows the ABC Sports broadcasting team who quickly shifted from sports reporting to live coverage of the Israeli athletes taken hostage.

At the heart of the story is Geoff (John Magaro), a young and ambitious producer striving to prove himself to his boss, the legendary TV executive Roone Arledge (Peter Sarsgaard). Together with German interpreter Marianne (Leonie Benesch) and his mentor Marvin Bader (Ben Chaplin), the story focuses on the intricate details of the high-tech broadcast capabilities of the time, juxtaposed against the many lives at stake and the moral decisions that needed to be made against an impossible ticking clock. The film also stars Zinedine Soualem, Georgina Rich, Corey Johnson, Marcus Rutherford, Daniel Adeosun, Benjamin Walker, and Ferdinand Dörfler.

September 5 was met with critical acclaim when it arrived late last year and was considered by many to be among the best of 2024. The film's availability on Paramount+ marks its most accessible release to date, allowing more movie fans to check it out.
