SYNOPSIS:

Under orders from Hitler to find a final solution of the Jewish problem, Gestapo chief Adolf Eichmann personally organizes a series of mass exterminations, mostly in concentration camps like Auschwitz, which take the lives of 6 million Jews. When Germany is defeated, he flees to Barcelona with his mistress, Anna Kemp. Two Jewish agents, David and Jacob, both of whom as young boys miraculously escaped from one of Eichmann's mass murders, track him down. But when they disagree on whether the archcriminal should be killed or captured, Eichmann escapes to a port in Kuwait. Israeli agents force Eichmann to move on, and he takes refuge in Argentina, where Anna joins him. Meanwhile, the Nazi underground, led by Kurt Kessner, has decided that Eichmann is to be eliminated for disobeying orders. Before they can succeed, however, David and Jacob capture Eichmann and fly him to Israel to await trial

Adolph Eichmann, architect of Hitler’s heinous “final solution” which resulted in the murder of six million Jews, escapes Germany at the end of WWII. But two intrepid Israeli agents vow he will not escape justice. Released when the real-life Eichmann trial had the world riveted, the uncompromising Operation Eichmann tells the story of a Nazi zealot drunk on the power to send millions of his fellow human beings to their deaths in gas chambers. And it tells the story of Israeli agents David and Jacob, who miraculously survived one of Eichmann’s mass executions when they were children. A 15-year manhunt is on as Eichmann and his mistress hopscotch the globe, pursued by David, Jacob and more dedicated Nazi-hunters, who sometimes wonder if it is better to kill than to capture Eichmann. A suspenseful adventure, a political thriller, and a true-life tale of good and evil: that is Operation Eichmann.
