Academy Museum Free Day 2026

After the killing of Israeli hostages at the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, a Mossad agent (Eric Bana) assembles a team to assassinate the men deemed responsible for the murders. Steven Spielberg’s fact-based international thriller is a thoughtful look at the moral costs of violence, with gripping suspense and an impressive supporting cast including Best Actor winner Geoffrey Rush (Shine, 1996), Supporting Actor nominee Ciarán Hinds (Belfast, 2021), and Daniel Craig, shortly before he debuted as James Bond. The film received five Oscar nominations including Best Picture, Directing, and, for John Williams’ music, his 22nd feature score for the director. Williams’s somber, restrained score focused on, in the composer’s words, “the enormous suffering and guilt, and eventually, paranoia” of Bana’s protagonist.
