艾希曼(托马斯·克莱舒曼 Thomas Kretschmann 饰)出生在德国一个平凡的家庭之中,因为样貌的原因,艾希曼小时候常常被耻笑为犹太人,因此他对犹太人这一种族有着别样的厌恶。第二次世界大战期间,艾希曼得到了希特勒的赏识,后者将重要的犹太人迁移计划交给了艾希曼负责。在1937到1942年间,大部分的犹太人运送和屠杀计划都是经由艾希曼的双手制定和实施的。 二战结束之后,纳粹的落败让艾希曼开始了他漫长的逃亡生活,然而在1961年,艾希曼还是被情报部门的摩萨德发现了下落,艾希曼遭到了秘密逮捕。由于这场逮捕并没有法律支持,在国际上引起了争议,造成了外交纠纷。Based upon the final confession of Adolf Eichmann, made before his execution in Israel as he accounts to Captain Avner Less, a young Israeli Police Officer, of his past as the architect of Hitler's plan for the final solution. Captured by intelligence operatives in Argentina, 15 years after World War II, Eichmann (Kretschmann), the World's most wanted man, must be broken down and the truth unveiled. As the world waits, two men must confront each other in a battle of wills- the result of which will change a nation forever.
