Plan A
Germany 1945, Max, a Jewish Holocaust survivor, meets a radical group of Jewish resistance fighters, who, like him, lost all hope for their future after they were robbed of their existence and their entire families were killed by the Nazis. They dream of retaliation on an epic scale for the Jewish people. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Max starts identifying with the group's monstrous plans...

Set in Germany in 1945, the film centers on Max Diehl, a Holocaust survivor, who lost his entire family in the camps. Full of rage and with nothing left to live for, he meets a group of Jewish vigilantes. Together they develop a plan to take brazen action against the German people: to poison the water system in Germany and kill 6 million Germans. Plan A is a gripping true story that deals with a most primal and natural instinct – pure revenge.
