An explosive, exciting thriller, The Odessa File is based on Frederick Forsythe's international best seller. The year is 1963. The place, Hamburg, Germany. An elderly Jewish man commits suicide, leaving a diary which falls into the hands of freelance newspaper man Peter Miller (Jon Voight). The diary documents the unspeakable crimes of cruelty, torture and mass murder perpetrated by SS Captain Eduard Roschmann (Maximilian Schell), commandant of the notorious wartime death camp at Riga, Latvia. Miller launches a personal manhunt to track down Roschmann, an investigation that leads him into the very heart of 'Odessa', a powerful secret organisation formed by the SS to protect and re-establish its fugitive members throughout the world.
