Based on the true story of Eli Cohen, Israel's national hero, whose daring mission took him from Argentina to Damascus where he successfully entered the upper echelons of the Syrian government. The secrets he obtained became crucial in Israel's victory in the 1967 Six Day War. A portrait of spies and spying that is as chilling as it is compelling, and as riveting as any James Bond adventure. This is a film about Isreal's legendary Eli Cohen who is persuaded to become a secret agent and winds up leading a double life -- as a mild mannered husband and father in Israel, and as a wealthy businessman who infiltrates the highest levels of the Syrian government
