Twist of Fate is a 1989 British drama TV miniseries directed by Ian Sharp and starring Ben Cross, Bruce Greenwood, and Veronica Hamel.
Episode I. Aristocratic SS engineer Obersturmbannführer Helmut Von Schraeder, in charge of extermination machinery in Treblinka, makes a detonator for the Hitler assassination plot in 1944.
After the liberation by the Allies, he unsuccessfully tries to go to Switzerland, where he has a sizeable stash in a bank account, but he finds himself on his way to Palestine under British mandate (later Israel) with his new Jewish friends.
He is found by the plastic surgeon and the commandant of Treblinka, who were hiding in Argentina, and they blackmailed him into delivering them nuclear uranium stolen by Mossad.
"[2][3] Bob Wisehart thinks that the movie is more than just a thriller: "This far-fetched tale raises serious questions about fate, free will and human beings as flawed but improvable creatures"... "Considering the Ben Grossman half of his life, does he deserve leniency?
"[4] Howard Rosenberg is critical of the way the moral question "how can evil and goodness reside in the same man" was trivialized by a plot that relies on too many coincidences.
