He saved thousands. Nobody saved him. Unravelling one of the greatest mysteries of the 20th century - the hero who vanished behind the iron curtain.
Raoul Wallenberg Missing Inaction is a gripping WWII espionage documentary that uncovers the heroic and mysterious story of Raoul Wallenberg - the Swedish diplomat who saved over 100,000 Jews in Nazi-occupied Budapest during the final months of the war. Funded by a covert American mission, Wallenberg’s bravery became legend, but in the final days of the conflict, he was arrested by the Soviet Army and vanished into the KGB prison system, never to be seen again.
Narrated by an internationally acclaimed cast of Oscar, Emmy, and Golden Globe winners - including Jake Gyllenhaal, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Brian Cox - the film retraces the decades-long search to uncover the truth behind Wallenberg’s fate. With its mix of historical drama, espionage, and real-life mystery, Raoul Wallenberg Missing Inaction goes beyond traditional history programming to appeal to fans of true crime, political intrigue, and cinematic storytelling.
