Story Synopsis

The Boys From Brazil, based on the novel by Ira Levin, is a riveting thriller that follows the fabled Nazi hunter Ezra Lieberman (Laurence Olivier in a powerful Academy Award®-nominated performance). When Lieberman learns of a sinister plan to murder a diverse group of elderly civil servants, he begins a search through South America to stop the despised Nazi geneticist, Dr. Josef Mengele’s (Gregory Peck) devious plan to found a Fourth Reich. This Pioneer Special Edition includes a seven minute promotional featurette of the film, the original theatrical trailer, an alternate trailer and Jerry Goldsmith’s Oscar®-nominated score isolated on the right analog track.
