Jeux Olympiques de Munich, 5 septembre 1972. Un commando de terroristes palestiniens prend en otages puis exécute 11 membres de l'équipe sportive israélienne, sous l'œil des téléspectateurs du monde entier. Inspiré de faits réels, Munich retrace le parcours de 5 agents israéliens chargés de traquer les 11 palestiniens considérés comme les commanditaires de l'attentat. Pour mener à bien cette mission, les 5 hommes devront renoncer du jour au lendemain à leur identité, et s’exposer à tout moment à la vengeance de leurs cibles.

The series opens as widow Shimon Sadeh, a successful general contractor, is finishing the year of mourning for his deceased wife. He marries Leah, his daughter's piano teacher. Shimon's eldest son, Ephraim, has become ultra-Orthodox, identifying with his grandfather, Eliahu, who lives with the family and has close bonds and a strong influence. The middle child, Itzik, rejects both going into his father's business to be a musician; and Orthodoxy. Strong-willed, feisty Ariella is finishing high school and considering her options. Many scenes take place in the small Tunisian synagogue headed by Eliahu, and involve the power struggles among the regulars there. The gut-punching drama is largely the work of Oscar-winning director Yankul Goldwasser, who previously directed the popular series Reaching for Heaven; and young director Nir Bergman, who won the Israeli Academy Award for his first film, Broken Wings.
