Synopsis

El Lobo (2004) is a Spanish historical thriller you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Miguel Courtois and starring Eduardo Noriega. It reconstructs the real undercover operation run by Mikel Lejarza, who penetrated ETA during the final years of Franco's dictatorship.

Spain, 1973 — the regime is fraying, and the Basque separatist group is bombing its way into the headlines. A construction worker named Txema gets picked up in a police sweep and offered a deal: go back in as an informant, or face years in prison. He takes it. His handler gives him the name El Lobo — the Wolf — and sends him back to people who would kill him on the spot if they knew the truth. The tension here is quiet and grinding, not explosive.

Lejarza's actual operation led to around 150 arrests before he was extracted. Noriega plays him as a man being slowly hollowed out by the role, which is where the film earns its weight. Stream El Lobo (2004) online on iFILM.
