Synopsis:

Egon Schultz, the last surviving Nazi war criminal, is extradited to Israel from Syria in the framework of the peace agreements between the two countries. Schultz is to be tried in Jerusalem for the transport of Jews from all parts of Europe. Danny Hoffman, a wealthy businessman and son of a Holocaust survivor, places a $2 million bounty on Schultz's head, as indicated in his father's will. There is a catch to Hoffman's contract: the bounty hunters must capture the Nazi at the Golan Heights border crossing and bring him unharmed to the highest mountain in the country where, at the top of the snow-covered peak, Hoffman himself is to shoot the last Nazi. The contract will be void if the Nazi is harmed on the way to the mountain.

Made in Israel is a story about the journey of five Israelis: a trumpet player, two payment collectors and a pair of Russian hitmen who unwittingly become Nazi hunters. They wander through the snowy Golan Heights in a heavy fog with the 82 year-old Nazi, caring for him like a baby so as to bring him safe and sound to the top of the mountain. Made in Israel could be the story every Israeli: what would happen if someone offered us $2 million tax free to capture the last Nazi in the world?
