Plot.

Joseph, a retired New York police officer and Holocaust survivor, travels to Nuremberg to visit his son Ronnie years after turning his back on him for rejecting a promising career in the NYPD and marrying a local artist, Anna. No sooner does Joseph attempt to heal the rift with Ronnie then he swears that living in the apartment above, under the false name of Shrager, is the now aging SS Commander who slaughtered his entire family during World War II. With little hope of seeing him stand trial, Joseph talks Ronnie into exacting justice - and vengeance - and together they set out to kill him.

Wiki.

Beautiful Blue Eyes (originally entitled Iron Cross) is a 2022 English thriller film written and directed by Joshua Newton. It stars Roy Scheider in his final role as a retired police detective who believes he has found the Nazi officer who slaughtered his family in World War II. Scott Cohen, Alexander Newton, Calita Rainford, Sarah Bolger, Anna Polony, and Helmut Berger appear in supporting roles.

Shot in 2007, the film premiered as Iron Cross at the 26th Boston Film Festival in 2010 and had a limited theatrical release the following year. It was not shown publicly again until 2022 when the film was retitled Beautiful Blue Eyes and given a new limited release to coincide with a re-release of Scheider's film Jaws. The film is currently exclusively available through the digital platform MovieKey.
