- Summary
- Hoffman plays the likeable Columbia graduate student and marathon runner of the title, unwittingly trapped in a terrifying drama revolving around a murderous Nazi fugitive, Christian Szell. Sir Laurence Olivier received an Academy Award nomination for his superb portrayal of the sadistic Szell--who administers torture with the instruments of a surgeon and the dispassionate ease of evil personified.
