In this dark thriller, Doc Levy (Roy Scheider) an American secret agent, is killed at the request of an escaped Nazi war criminal Szell (Laurence Olivier). Believing that Doc has stolen a valuable cache of gems, Szell kidnaps Doc's brother Babe (Dustin Hoffman) and attempts to extract information from him using the sadistic methods he practiced as a concentration camp dentist. Babe escapes but not without breaking his own self-imposed rule of nonviolence. MARATHON MAN traces Babe Levy's progression from pacifistic naif to cynical street-smart scrapper.
