"It's never too late for revenge."

Zev Guttman (Christopher Plummer), receives a mysterious package from his close friend Max (Martin Landau), containing a stack of money and a letter detailing a shocking plan. Both Zev and Max were prisoners in Auschwitz, and the same sadistic guard was responsible for the death of both their families - a guard who, immediately after the war, escaped Germany and has been living in the U.S. ever since under an assumed identity. Along with a wheelchair-bound Max, Zev will embark on a cross-continental road-trip to bring justice once and for all to the man who destroyed both their lives. From director Atom Egoyan and with an incredible lead performance from Christopher Plummer as the frail but unstoppable Zev, Remember is a thrillingly fast-paced revenge story.

Plot summary from IMDb: "Remember" is the contemporary story of Zev, who discovers that the Nazi guard who murdered his family some 70 years ago is living in America under an assumed identity. Despite the obvious challenges, Zev sets out on a mission to deliver long-delayed justice with his own trembling hand. What follows is a remarkable cross-continent road-trip with surprising consequences.
