Based on a shocking true story, "The Devil's Double" follows the riveting journey of soldier Latif Yahia (Dominic Cooper), a man forced to become the body double of Saddam Hussein's ruthless son, Uday. With his family threatened with death if he fails to comply, Latif undergoes surgery and studiously studies Uday's personal habits, determined not to make any mistakes that may provoke the rage of the notorious playboy.
