Synopsis:

George Segal gives a bravura performance as an unorthodox secret agent on the run from a neo-Nazi organisation in this stylish espionage thriller directed in West Berlin by Michael Anderson. Tautly scripted by Harold Pinter, this multiple BAFTA-nominated film also features Alec Guinness, Max von Sydow and Senta Berger. The Quiller Memorandum is featured here in a High Definition transfer made from original film elements in its as-exhibited theatrical aspect ratio. Quiller is assigned by the head of Berlin Control to uncover the operations of a neo-Nazi organisation. Sentenced to death by the menacing 'Oktober', Reichsfuhrer of the new Nazis, he finds himself on the run and trapped in a web of intrigue, lies and deceit ...

After two British agents are assassinated in Berlin by a group of neo-Nazis, the British Secret Service assign Quiller to locate and identify the culprits. He accepts the assignment and almost immediately finds that he is being followed. He begins openly asking question about neo-Nazis and is soon kidnapped by a man known only as Oktober. The neo-Nazis want to know the location of British operations and similarly, the British want to know the location of the Nazis' headquarters. Quiller befriends a teacher, Inge Lindt, whose predecessor at the school had been arrested for being a neo-Nazi. For Quiller, it's a question of staying alive when he's not in possession of all of the facts.

Two British agents are murdered by a mysterious Neonazi organization in West Berlin. The British Secret Service sends agent Quiller to investigate. Soon Quiller is confronted with Neonazi chief "Oktober" and involved in a dangerous game where each side tries to find out the enemy's headquarters at any price...
