A World War II vet sets out in 1948 to avenge the death of his wife at the hands of Nazis. His targets are four Germans, a Sicilian, and a Hungarian who committed the atrocities. He is aided by a CIA operative, who has another agenda. One of the targeted men is being groomed by the US to become the West German chancellor and is to be protected. Along the way, a third person joins the team.
In the final days of World War II, American spy Michael Rogan (Edward Albert Jr.) is taken prisoner, along with his wife and comrades from the French underground. A sadistic six-man interrogation team fails to get any information out of Rogan, and brutally murder his wife and fellow conspirators, shoot him, and leave him for dead. After the war, Rogan sets out on a mission of bloodshed and terror that takes him across Europe. Haunted, wounded, and relentlessly driven by his hatred and his memory, Rogan avenges the senseless murders, one by one. The leader of the interrogating team and Rogan's ultimate target is Von Osten (Rex Harrison), now a major political force in post-war Germany. Von Osten is on the verge of gaining the Chancellery and becoming a puppet for the Americans. Rogan carefully stalks his prey, dodging American agents and tensely awaiting his chance. In the final confrontation, Rogan must face both his memory and his tormentor, but it is Von Osten that must stare into the steely eyes of hatred and look justice square in the face.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
