Description | Sir Robert Thorndyke (Peter O'Toole) is an aristocrat and hunter who, just for the sport of it, tracks Adolph Hitler to his mountain retreat. With the Fuhrer in his crosshairs, Thorndyke is caught and subsequently tortured by the SS. They attempt to kill him and make his death seem like a hunting accident, but Thorndyke escapes back to England -- only to find that German agents have followed him there. The hunter soon finds himself the hunted in a deadly game of cat and mouse. Pinter wrote the screenplay based on F. Scott Fitzgerald's unfinished 1941 novel. |
