"Give Me Any American for 36 Hours And I'll Give You Back a Traitor"

DramaThrillerWar

Germans kidnap an American major and try to convince him that World War II is over, so that they can get details about the Allied invasion of Europe out of him.

VIBE

A tense, cerebral cat-and-mouse game unfolds in the shadow of WWII. It's a claustrophobic battle of wits, where reality blurs and trust is a luxury no one can afford. Minds are the true battleground.
