MOVIE INFO This fast-paced thriller, adapted from a novel by Ira Levin, centers on a battle of wits between the "Angel of Death," Nazi-war-criminal Josef Mengele (Gregory Peck) and his pursuer Ezra Lieberman (Laurence Olivier), a character loosely based on real-life Nazi-hunter Simon Wiesenthal. Ezra must foil Mengele's plot to clone Hitler to produce hundreds of genetically identical young men, and have them raised in environments similar to that of the young Hitler in an attempt to produce a new Fuhrer.
