A chance to see GIGN in action. Interesting to see how the film can sustain viewer's interest right up to the final assault on the aircraft....(i'm guessing we'll be catching glimpses into both the lives of the hostage takers & GIGN members, their families, training & planning for the rescue etc.)
L’Assaut‘s plot synopsis: “On Christmas Eve 1994 four armed men from the Islamic terrorist group GIA hijacked Air France Flight 8969 in Algiers. When they landed in Marseille the plane was raided by highly trained French forces and all four kidnappers killed.” (Opens March 9, 2011 in France)
