In October 1985, a group of Palestinian terrorists of the PLO embark on the Italian cruise ship Achille Lauro in Alexandria with the purpose of reaching Haifa and perform a suicide mission confronting State of israel. Nevertheless, when they're found out during the trip, they make up one's mind to hijack the ship and take all passengers earnest. Amongst them are Mr. Leon Klinghoffer (Burt Lancaster), a disabled Jewish-American and his married woman Marilyn Klinghoffer, who is hiding from her husband the fact she has skin cancer. Also taken hostage is Antonio, a transport staff fellow member who bonds with Leon subsequently looking after him at the asking of Mrs. Klinghoffer. Prior to the hijacking Klinghoffer decided to stay on the ship and not go along tour to see the pyramids. Given the situation, the terrorists change their purposes, asking for the liberation of virtually 50 other Palestinian terrorists detained in Israel, merely both Egypt and State of israel pass up to negotiate.
When even Syria refuses the entrance of the Achille Lauro in Tartus, the terrorists' leader Molqi (Joseph Nasser) kills Leon in retaliation and forces two sailors to throw his body overboard and the Syrians force the ship to leave.
To solve the situation, the PLO leader Yasser Arafat orders one of his men, Abu Abbas (who is the planner of the failed mission) to human activity as a negotiator for the Egyptian Regime, and thanks to him the terrorists allow the ship and the hostages costless in exchange for a safe return to Tunis.
Nonetheless, immediately subsequently Abbas and the terrorists have left for Tunis aboard an Egyptian rider airliner, Klinghoffer's execution is discovered by the regime. Molqi forced the Achille Lauro 'due south helm to lie well-nigh the murder in front of the negotiators, since the condition for negotiation was his word that all of the passengers were live. At that point President Reagan orders the U.S. Navy to intercept the airliner and force information technology to land at the Sicilian NATO base at Sigonella where the terrorists tin can be arrested by a Delta Force disengagement allowable by General Davies.
When the airplane successfully lands in Sigonella, the Italian Army, past order of the Prime Minister Bettino Craxi, refuses to hand over the terrorists to the U.s. military, since the base is located on Italian soil and the murder itself happened aboard an Italian ship.
For an unabridged dark the tension rises, with the Italian Air Force security VAM and Carabinieri near at the point of exchanging gunfire with the Delta operators, simply in the end President Reagan has no selection but to respect Italian jurisdiction over the terrorists. Molqi and his 3 companions are and so taken in custody by the Italians, while Abu Abbas is left gratis to leave the country, despite the American asking to arrest him, since in that location is not enough proof of his interest in the hijacking.
A year later a Idiot box news bulletin announces the sentences that the hijackers received but that Abu Abbas is not in prison house. Antonio starts to weep as he remembers Leon.
