Paramount Pictures released the first trailer for Tim Fehlbaum‘s September 5, a historical drama set during the 1972 Munich Summer Olympics.

The film is directed by Fehlbaum, who co-wrote the screenplay with Moritz Binder and Alex David.
Here’s the official plot for September 5:

Together with German interpreter Marianne (Leonie Benesch) and his mentor Marvin Bader (Ben Chaplin), Geoff unexpectedly takes the helm of the live coverage.
