If you loved The Holcroft Covenant, try these.

The Odessa File poster 01

Movie / 1974 / Drama / Thriller

The Odessa File

Why this pick

A civilian’s personal investigation opens onto a clandestine postwar Nazi network, matching the international locations, inherited wartime guilt, and steadily tightening conspiracy of The Holcroft Covenant.

The Boys from Brazil poster 02

Movie / 1978 / Drama / Horror / Science Fiction / Thriller

The Boys from Brazil

Why this pick

It shares the ominous idea of Nazism surviving through an elaborate long-range scheme, with globe-spanning pursuit and a polished, tense 1970s thriller sensibility.

Marathon Man poster 03

Movie / 1976 / Thriller / Drama

Marathon Man

Why this pick

Like Holcroft, an ordinary man is pulled into a dangerous legacy of Nazi crimes and cannot tell whom to trust; its paranoia is more intimate and relentlessly nerve-racking.

Black Sunday poster 04

Movie / 1977 / Action / Drama / Thriller

Black Sunday

Why this pick

Frankenheimer again builds suspense through procedural detail, multinational intrigue, and a looming extremist threat, delivering the same muscular, serious-minded thriller craftsmanship.

The Fourth Protocol poster 05

Movie / 1987 / Action / Drama / Suspense / Thriller / War

The Fourth Protocol

Why this pick

This has a similarly literate 1980s espionage texture: covert organizations, shifting loyalties, and a quiet civilian-facing danger that gradually reveals international stakes.

01 / THE STORY

A little about the film.

Noel Holcroft's late father - who was a former associate of Adolf Hitler - left behind a fortune supposedly to make amends for his wrongdoings. But more than forty years later, Noel finds himself embroiled in a web of conspiracies involving the children of two of his father's Nazi colleagues, a mysterious organisation supposedly devoted to ensuring the Nazis never again come to power, and a woman who may be Noel's downfall or his only hope.
