Plot summary
In 1960, Israeli agents seek Adolf Eichmann, the Nazi official behind the Holocaust, believed to be hiding in Argentina. Peter Malkin, a Mossad operative whose reputation suffered after he killed the wrong man in Austria, is on the team. In Buenos Aires, Sylvia Hermann begins dating Klaus, Eichmann's son. At dinner with Sylvia's father, Lothar, Klaus speaks against Jews and says his father died in the war. Lothar alerts Mossad in Tel Aviv, and Zvi Aharoni is sent to Argentina. Klaus brings Sylvia to a Nazi gathering hosted by Carlos Fuldner, where Eichmann appears, and Sylvia walks out. The agents plan to seize Eichmann and fly him to Israel, with doctor Hanna joining to keep him sedated.
