Synopsis
The espionage thriller begins in 1997, as shocking news reaches retired Mossad secret agents Rachel (Academy Award winner Helen Mirren) and Stephan (two-time Academy Award nominee Tom Wilkinson) about their former colleague David (Ciaran Hinds - MISS PETTIGREW LIVES FOR A DAY).
All three have been venerated for decades by their country because of the mission that they undertook back in 1966, when the trio (portrayed, respectively, by Jessica Chastain (THE TREE OF LIFE), Marton Csokas (DREAM HOUSE), and Sam Worthington (AVATAR, CLASH OF THE TITANS) tracked down Nazi war criminal Vogel (Jesper Christensen - CASINO ROYALE, QUANTUM OF SOLACE) in East Berlin.
At great risk, and at considerable personal cost, the team's mission was accomplished - or was it? The suspense builds in and across two different time periods, with startling action and surprising revelations.
