"Inspired by one of the most remarkable true-life rescue missions ever, The Red Sea Diving Resort is the incredible story of a group of Mossad agents and brave Ethiopians who in the early 80s used a deserted holiday retreat in Sudan as a front to smuggle thousands of refugees to Israel," a synopsis said.
