Follows the life of Ilich Ramirez Sanchez, a Venezuelan-born leftist revolutionary nicknamed Carlos and later Jackal who famously raided the OPEC headquarters in Vienna, Austria, in 1975. Known as the real life "anti-James Bond," Ilich worked for radical Palestinians and groups in Syria, Libya, Iraq and communist Romania. Manipulated by the secret services of Arabian and eastern countries, he founded a worldwide terrorist organization and ended up ridiculed and alone in exile in Sudan before being picked up by French police.
