Synopsis by Daniel Gelb

Lars Kraume directed this historical thriller based on true events, which documents the efforts of German district attorney Fritz Bauer (played by Burghart Klaußner) to prosecute Nazi war criminals during the 1950s and '60s. When Bauer uncovers evidence that former SS officer Adolf Eichmann may be hiding out in Argentina, he decides to share his intelligence with the Mossad in order to bring him to justice.
