Operation Acid Gambit took place as an opening action of the United States invasion of Panama, on 20 December 1989. It was a U.S. Delta Force operation that retrieved Kurt Muse, a rumored asset of the Central Intelligence Agency, operating in Panama who had been arrested for leading a plot with other Panamanians to overthrow the government of Panama, from the Cárcel Modelo, a notorious prison in Panama City.

With a screenplay by Jared Rosenberg, the film is based on the true story of Operation Acid Gambit, one of the most daring military raids in history.

At its center is Kurt Muse, a U.S. army vet who ran a clandestine radio operation in Panama to undermine Manuel Noriega’s regime in the late 1980s. After being arrested by Noriega’s secret police and imprisoned in brutal conditions, Muse was rescued by the United States’ most elite warriors, Delta Force, during their invasion of Panama in December 1989.

Despite careful planning, and under intense pressure to succeed, the Delta operators only had a six-minute head start to pull off their high-risk heist before U.S. forces moved in, triggering the prisoner’s swift execution.
