The film is primarily based on official Israeli interrogation manuscripts and transcripts from the files of the concentration camps. It explores the months-long process where Avner Less, a young police officer with a personal stake in the case, attempts to trick the skilled manipulator into self-incrimination.

Stephen Fry appears in a supporting role as the Israeli Minister of Justice.

To counter Eichmann’s denials, the film utilizes sepia-toned flashbacks to depict his role as the architect of the Final Solution during World War II.

Secondary storylines show the immense pressure on Avner Less, including public outrage in Jerusalem and the impact on his ailing wife, Vera (played by Franka Potente). Key Cast and Crew
