The Capture of Adolf Eichmann
In 1960, Israel sent spies with a task of capturing Adolf Eichmann and returning him to Israel for trial. After some observations to establish what Eichmann's routine was, they determined the best time to capture him would be after he took his normal bus in the evening. The movie correctly showed Oscar Isaac's version of the Massad agent Peter Mokken as the first to walk up to Eichmann.
