Quite interesting and well performed, but "Raid on Entebbe" is woefully dated, and while I have only a peripheral knowledge of Operation Entebbe's actual intricacies, somehow this movie feels fake, and too staged. It simply lacks the natural flow and authoritative re-telling of history that any movie based on actual events requires to make you believe and wonder about those same events.

It's a bad movie, glaringly unrealistic and unresearched. It was made to capitalize on what was, at the time, American delight in and fascination with the very risky but luckily successful Israeli operation to rescue hostages from the clutches of Palestinian terrorists aided by Idi Amin. It interested me as an Israeli for historical reasons, but apart from a very nice impression of Amin by Yaphet Kotto, I doubt that modern international viewers would find much value in this.
