Alive and hiding in South America, the fiendish Nazi Dr. Josef Mengele (Peck) gathers a group of former colleagues for a horrifying project- he wants to clone Hitler.

As Mengele moves closer to producing global terror, Lieberman alone must discover the terrifying extent of his plan and stop it. (Fonte: retro del dvd)… (más)
