"During the Cold War, German rocket scientist Arthur Rudolph was instrumental in helping America win the Space Race. Rudolph--who directed the German lab that produced the V-2 rocket, and who was implicated in working thousands of slave laborers to death--was the only scientist to face prosecution for war crimes. When he is forced to confront his Nazi history, Rudolph and his wife are cast out of the country he has diligently served for nearly forty years.
