During World War II, suave, witty, daring, handsome and utterly amoral, British safe-cracker Eddie Chapman is quite prepared to work for whichever side offers him the greater thrill - and the most money. Rather than face a lengthy jail sentence, Chapman opts to act as a spy for the Nazis. But not everyone trusts him and doubts his loyalty to the cause - with good reason, because Chapman has also offered to act as a double agent for the British - for a fee, of course. Thus a ‘legend’ is born. But just how far is Chapman prepared to lie and scheme to help one side win the war? (Signal One Entertainment)
