Eichmann

2007, 97 minutes

Dramatisation of Adolf Eichmann's final interviews before his trial and execution in 1962.

(As written on the reverse of the dvd) Based upon the final confession of Adolf Eichmann made before he was tried and hanged in Israel in 1962, this powerful film stars Thomas Kretschmann as the SS officer who orchestrated the mass murder and destruction of millions of innocent people. Captured by intelligence operatives in Argentina, 15 years after World War II, Eichmann must be broken down by Captain Avner Less, (Troy Garity) a young Israeli Police officer. Gradually Avner uncovers the harrowing truth about Eichmann's role as the architect of Hitler's plan for "the final solution" which killed 6 million Jews including Avner's father. As the world watches, the two men confront each other in a battle of wills- the result of which will change a nation forever.
