The Eagle: A Crime Odyssey

The Danish high-tension series “The Eagle” lands right in the operational center of a Scandinavian anti-terror organization. The highly specialized team of investigators in a special unit set up in cooperation with Europol and Interpol dismantles terrorist networks and other criminal organizations - not only on the borders of Scandinavia, but also in many other countries. The crime episodes of “The Eagle” consist of cases that not only impress with their exciting plot, but above all with their complexity. Jens Albinus, who made a name for himself in the Lars von Trier films “Idiots”, “The Boss of It All” and “Dancer In The Dark”, can be seen in the leading role as Inspector Hallgrim Ørn Hallgrimsson, who is haunted by traumatic childhood memories. The enigmatic Hallgrim Hallgrimsson (Jens Albinus) is on his way to Iceland to see his sick mother when he is called back because a policeman has been killed at Copenhagen airport. Four murders and a daring rescue later detective Hallgrim Hallgrimsson, AKA The Eagle, accepts a position in the police commissioner's new team so he can work on solving the case.
