In 1965, Arthur Goldman (Maximilian Schell) is a wealthy Jewish industrialist enjoying life in a luxury apartment in Manhattan when Israeli agents break into his home and arrest him for being the Nazi war criminal "Dorff" who ran a Nazi death camp. Goldman is drugged and sent to Israel where he is tried while in a protective glass booth. Now the question is, "Is he, or is he not, really Dorff?" This screen adaptation of Robert Shaw's play is so far removed from Shaw's interpretation that Shaw removed his name from the credits.
