SHOWTIME(R) DOCUMENTARY FILMS TO WORLD PREMIERE "OPERATION ODESSA" AT 2018 SXSW FILM FESTIVAL
True Crime Caper To Make Its SHOWTIME Television Debut On Saturday, March 31 at 9 PM ET/PT
LOS ANGELES - January 31, 2018 - The newest addition to the Showtime Documentary Films slate, OPERATION ODESSA will make its world premiere at the 2018 SXSW Film Festival in Austin, Texas. The documentary will premiere on SHOWTIME on Saturday, March 31 at 9 PM ET/PT on-air, on demand and over the internet. From the director and producers of The Seven Five, OPERATION ODESSA is a true crime documentary about a Russian mobster, a Miami playboy and a Cuban spy who sold a Soviet submarine to a Colombian drug cartel for $35 million. An early '90s gangster epic that hopscotches from Brooklyn to Miami and Cali to Moscow, the film tells the true story of three friends who set out to hustle the Russian mob, the Cali cartel and the DEA for the score of a lifetime. What really happened to the sub, the money and the three amigos has remained a shadowy underworld myth until now.
