The Debt DVD

In 1997, shocking news reaches Rachel and Stephan (Academy Award nominee Tom Wilkinson, Michael Clayton) regarding their former colleague David (Ciar&#225n Hinds, Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy) – from their secret mission in 1965-1966 to track down Nazi war criminal Dieter Vogel (Jesper Christensen, Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace) in East Berlin. At great risk, and at considerable personal cost, the team’s mission was accomplished – or was it? The stellar cast of The Debt also includes Jessica Chastain (The Help, The Tree of Life) as the young Rachel, used as bait to tighten the net around Vogel. She is also caught in a romantic triangle with her fellow agents, young David (Sam Worthington, Avatar, ), and Stephan (Marton Csokas, The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring, The Bourne Supremacy). The suspense builds in and across the two different time periods, compelling Rachel to take matters into her own hands.
