Synopsis
John Frankenheimer directs Michael Caine in this espionage story based on Robert Ludlum's novel, in which one of Hitler's right hand men dies and leaves behind a fortune to compensate for his Nazi past. When his New York based son (Caine) learns of the bequest, he embarks on a globetrotting series of adventures in order to find the mysterious document and implement his father's last wishes. But there are those who will go to any lengths to stop him.

TRIVIA:
The voice of Bernie Sussman on Holcroft's answering machine is director John Frankenheimer; James Caan walked off the production the day before filming started. Frankenheimer had to film around his absent lead character until Michael Caine was hired as a replacement.
