| Overview: | September, 1944. Nazi occupied Holland. When her temporary safe house is destroyed by a bomb, the beautiful young Jewish chanteuse Rachel Steinn joins fellow refugees in an attempt to reach safe Allied territory by boat.
Tragedy strikes when a Nazi patrol intercepts their escape, ruthlessly killing everybody onboard, including Rachel's family; only Rachel escapes the massacre. Embittered and desperate for revenge, she joins the Resistance, where, assigned a new identity as the blond Ellies de Vries, she is charged with infiltrating the German Security Service by seducing senior officer Muntze (Sebastian Koch).
Without warning, she becomes entangled in a deadly web of double-dealing and betrayal...
Twenty years in the making, this stunning, sexy war film from the internationally acclaimed blockbuster director Paul Verhoeven ("Basic Instinct", "Total Recall", "Starship Troopers") is an epic and moving tale of great courage and fierce emotion--played out against the dying explosive months of WWII.
