The Boys From Brazil

Young, well-intentioned Barry Kohler (Steve Guttenberg) stumbles upon a secret organization of Third Reich war criminals holding clandestine meetings in Paraguay and finds that Dr Josef Mengele (Gregory Peck), the infamous Auschwitz doctor, is with them. He phones Ezra Lieberman (Laurence Olivier) an aging Nazi hunter living in Vienna, Austria, with this information. Lieberman follows Kohler's leads and begins to investigate the suspicious deaths of a number of aging civil servants. He is amazed to find an uncanny resemblance in their adopted, black-haired, blue-eyed sons.
