Summary:
Josef Mengele is a Nazi death-camp doctor whose goal is to clone Hitler. Therefore, he obtains hair and blood samples from Hitler and puts his plan into action. This movie follows the actions of Nazi hunter Ezra Lieberman as he follows the trail of Mengele. Lieberman’s hunt leads him through Europe and South America, where he discovers that a number of civil servants are killed; Lieberman also notices that the boys of the killed men are all dark haired, blue eyed and share an uncanny resemblance. Meanwhile, Mengele becomes aware that he is being tracked and decides to confront Lieberman. Thus, he goes to a remote farm in Pennsylvania to find one of Hitler’s clones, Bobby, and kills Bobby’s dad. Lieberman soon arrives, and the two start fighting. When Bobby comes home from school, Lieberman tells him that Mengele has killed his dad and asks Booby to call the police. Bobby, however, only thinks about revenge and sets his dogs on Mengele and they rip him apart. Later, other Nazi hunters try to convince Lieberman to turn in the list of the other “boys from Brazil,” but he refuses to do so, claiming that they are only boys. The movie then ends on an ominous note as Bobby happily develops the bloody pictures from the dog attack.
“An intriguing tale..” – Brian McKay, eFilm critic
“In the transfer from page to screen, Ira Levin's popular novel has been diluted, losing the bite and the little credibility of the book.” – Emanuel Levy, Fox Entertainment
Questions:
Do clones share the same personality as the original? If yes, can they be considered a distinct individual?
If cloning becomes a reality, should we place a ban on who we can clone?
