- WissenswertesThis mini-series, and the original novel, are a fictionalized version of the real-life lawsuit filed against author Leon Uris by Dr. Wladislaw Dering over a one-line reference in Uris' best-selling novel, "Exodus," about Dering's wartime record in a Nazi concentration camp. As in this mini-series, the concentration camp surgical records were produced, but on loan from the Polish government, not after being kept in hiding. Dering, like Adam Kelno (Sir Anthony Hopkins), collected only one half-penny in damages, and was forced to pay his own substantial legal costs.

The trial took place in QB VII: Queen's Bench Courtroom Number Seven of the Royal Courts of Justice in London. There, Sir Adam Kelno, a refugee European doctor and concentration camp survivor brought suit for libel against Abraham Cady, World War II ace and world-famous American novelist.

In the lives of these two men, in their conflict in this tragedy, is the heart of a story of a generation that in the unforgettable phrase of those times, "at a rendezvous with destiny."
