Operación Ogro is a 1979 Spanish and Italian drama film written and directed by Gillo Pontecorvo.

The film is based on true events in Spain during the early 1970s and is based on the eponymous book by Julen Agirre (pseudonym of Eva Forest).[1]

The film won the David di Donatello (an annual Italian motion picture award) for Best Film.

All the actors, a mix of Spaniards and Italians, spoke Spanish in the dubbed version released in Spain, and Italian in the dubbed Italian version.
