München (OT: Munich) ist ein US-amerikanisch-kanadisch-französischer Action-Thriller von Steven Spielberg aus dem Jahr 2005. München basiert auf der wahren Geschichte der israelischen Reaktion auf das Münchner Olympia-Attentat (1972), bei der ein Kommando des Schwarzen Septembers elf Mitglieder der israelischen Olympiamannschaft tötete. Vorwiegend wird die Tätigkeit einer Einheit des Mossad gezeigt, welche im Auftrag der israelischen Regierung die direkt und indirekt für den Anschlag Verantwortlichen tötet. Der Film vermischt Fakten mit Erfundenem, lässt historische Personen mit fiktiven Charakteren interagieren. Spielberg selbst bezeichnete den Film als „fiktiv“ und berief sich auf seine „künstlerische Freiheit“, Geschichten zu erzählen. Die Premierministerin Golda Meir und der Geheimdienstchef Tzwi Zamir sind historische Personen, die Darstellung der Anschläge in Paris, Nikosia und Beirut entspricht im Großen und Ganzen dem tatsächlichen Ablauf. Die gezeigte Mossad-Einheit entspricht jedoch in keiner Weise der tatsächlichen, 1972 gebildeten und in ähnlicher Mission tätigen Mossad-Einheit „Caesarea“. Auch die Chronologie und der Umfang der Aktionen sind fiktiv.
