Operación Baby

A tense, fact-heavy chronicle of a brazen kidnapping and the sprawling manhunt it triggers, gripping but dry.

Directed by

José Luis Valle

Overview

In 1988 an elite commando of the Salvadoran guerrilla kidnapped the heir to the throne of Iran and asked the highest rescue in history: 150 million dolars to finance its armed movement. Secret services around the world began the biggest "man hunt" in the history of America. With helicopters flying over the capital, military roadblocks throughout the country and a U.S. naval blockade, "Operation Baby" seemed doomed to failure.
