Amid a tense political climate, the opposition leader is killed in an apparent accident. When a prosecutor smells a cover-up, witnesses get targeted. A thinly veiled dramatization of the assassination of Greek politician Grigoris Lambrakis and its aftermath, “Z” captures the outrage at the US-backed junta that ruled Greece at the time of its release.

"This movie starts by telling you that any representation of characters to real life figures living or dead is 100% intentional before going into an insane story of political intrigue that sees police colluding with a far right group in the murder of a leftist, pacifist politician. And, I thought this movie would be kind of dry but it keeps up intrigue through it's entire runtime to such a degree that despite starting it late at night I didn't check the time once. These events are the telling of a real political assassination in Greece (1963). I strongly recommend this movie."
