The Engineer

The Engineer

An action-packed blockbuster, based on the biggest manhunt in the history of Israel to find Yahya Ayyash, the mastermind bombmaker “The Engineer” who oversaw a group of suicide bombers in Israel in the middle of the 1990s.

In the vein of Homeland and Fauda comes this pulse-pounding thriller, based on true events and starring Emile Hirsch (Into the Wild) and Tsahi Halevi (Bethlehem). As Israel is rocked by a series of terrorist bombings, a US senator’s daughter is killed in one of the horrific explosions. Everyone is after Israel's most wanted man, including the Shin Bet and a covert team of mercenaries. The story follows the Mossad and Shin Bet, led by head agent Etan and a team of special operatives, who are working around the clock to locate and eliminate “The Engineer”.
