The Odessa File is set in Hamburg in the winter of 1963.
Jon Voight plays
Peter Miller, a German reporter who is investigating the whereabouts of missing Nazi war criminals. After reading the diary of a Holocaust survivor who has recently committed suicide,
Miller goes on the trail of in-hiding SS officer
Eduard Roschmann (
Maximilian Schell). The reporter finds his investigation blocked by members of a secretive group called Odessa. With the help of Israeli activists,
Miller persists in his search.
Schell's sister
Maria also appears in
The Odessa File as
Miller's mother, the widow of a German soldier. Based on a nailbiting novel by
Frederick Forsyth,
The Odessa File is highlighted by the exquisitely Teutonic score of
Andrew Lloyd Webber.
