In the setting of 1970s South America, a notorious Nazi War criminal, Dr. Josef Mengele (Gregory Peck), gathers a group of former Nazis to work on a covert project to establish a Fourth Reich. But when famed Nazi-hunter Ezra Lieberman (Laurence Olivier) is enlightened to Mengele's bone-chilling scheme--to clone 94 young Hitlers and cause horror on a global scale--he attempts to unravel the conspiracy.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRobustly entertaining and bracingly sinister, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThe Boys from Brazil\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e stars Gregory Peck as the infamous Dr Josef Mengele, the former Nazi chief who intends to resurrect the Führer and create a Fourth Reich through genetic experiments that commence with the assassination of some 94 fathers.

But in view of the scientific advancements made since the release of the film, it's now a cautionary tale, and all the more compelling for being so. Jerry Goldsmith's richly conceived, Oscar-nominated score--replete with echoes of Mahler and Strauss--reinforces this impression.--\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eKevin Mulhall\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ITV","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46886454755502,"sku":"3711504883","price":6.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0583\/4614\/3918\/files\/BOYSFROMBRAZIL-LIME-LIGHT.jpg?v=1758185669","url":"https:\/\/limelightcollection.co.uk\/en-eu\/products\/the-boys-from-brazil-dvd","provider":"Limelight Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
