English Summary:

On 22 November 1963, the day of the John F. Kennedy assassination in Dallas, Peter Miller, a young freelance reporter in Hamburg, West Germany, pulls his car over to the curb to listen to a radio report of the event. As a result, he happens to be stopped at a traffic signal as an ambulance passes by on a highway.

He follows the ambulance and discovers it is en route to pick up the body of an elderly Jewish Holocaust survivor who had committed suicide, leaving behind no family. The reporter obtains the diary of the man, which contains information on his life in the Riga Ghetto during WW II, including the name of the SS officer who ran the camp, Eduard Roschmann.

Determined to hunt Roschmann down, Miller consults with Nazi-hunter Simon Wiesenthal who informs him about ODESSA, a secret organisation for former members of the SS. With this information, Miller then dares to go undercover, using an assumed name and forged papers showing him as an SS veteran. He joins and infiltrates the ODESSA and finds Roschmann, who now runs a high-tech company which plans to send radio gyroscopes and biochemical warheads to Egypt to use against Israel.

Hungarian Summary:

Berlin, 1962 tele. Peter Miller, náci háborús bűnösök felkutatásával foglalkozó szabadúszó újságíró egy holokauszt-túlélő naplóját elolvasva Eduard Rochemann egykori koncentrációstábor parancsnok nyomába ered. Hamarosan azt kénytelen tapasztalni, hogy munkáját egy Odessza nevű titokzatos csoportosulás próbálja minden eszközzel akadályozni. Miller azonban nem adja fel: az izraeli titkosszolgálat közreműködésével és hatalmas elszántsággal megpróbálja kézre keríteni Rochemannt.
