The Debt
Overview
Starring Helen Mirren and Sam Worthington, THE DEBT begins in 1965 when three Mossad agents bring their own brand of lethal justice to a Nazi responsible for the deaths of many Jews. However, decades later, a man who says he is the war criminal is still alive, and the trio must discover what really happened. Screenwriters Matthew Vaughn and Jane Goldman take a detour from the fantasy land of STARDUST to write this history-charged thriller.
