While World War II movies are a dime a dozen, it\u2019s not often that audiences get to see what happened after the Nazis were defeated. Nuremberg<\/a> opens a window into that complicated period of history, immediately after the Allied victory, and showcases how difficult it was to bring the perpetrators to justice on an international scale. Adapted from the 2013 nonfiction book The Nazi and the Psychiatrist<\/a> by Jack El-Hai, the drama follows the true story of a US Army psychiatrist tasked with evaluating 22 high-ranking Nazis before they stand trial for war crimes committed during WWII. When he forms a troubling bond with one of the former German leaders, his understanding of the nature of evil is tested. James Vanderbilt (Truth) directs the period piece, which stars Russell Crowe and Rami Malek.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Who\u2019s in the cast of Nuremberg?What happens in\u00a0Nuremberg?<\/p>\n

As Nazi Germany falls to the Allied forces, American troops capture Hitler\u2019s second-in-command, Hermann G\u00f6ring (Crowe), in Austria. When US associate Supreme Court justice Robert H. Jackson (Shannon) hears the news, he seizes the opportunity to be part of something never done before: a tribunal of world powers that charges G\u00f6ring and other surviving Nazi leaders for their war crimes, thereby setting the first precedent on the international prosecution of war criminals. In Jackson\u2019s mind, seeing the dregs of Hitler\u2019s regime legally convicted and sentenced is what the world needs in order to heal. And, if that groundbreaking conviction serves as a warning to other would-be dictators that no man is above the law, then mission accomplished.<\/p>\n

As part of Jackson\u2019s uphill battle to create the International Military Tribunal, US Army psychiatrist Douglas Kelley (Malek) is brought in to evaluate the mental health of the prisoners. While Kelley faces contempt and derision from a majority of the criminals, his conversations with G\u00f6ring are of an entirely different nature. Kelley finds G\u00f6ring civil, even charming on occasion, but notes that this man is a highly intelligent narcissist who believes with conviction that he\u2019ll walk away without consequences. As Kelley continues his interviews, he\u2019s drawn into a psychological showdown with G\u00f6ring that makes him question whether there\u2019s any moral high ground in war, or if there are only winners and losers. With the unprecedented trial hanging in the balance, understanding what makes G\u00f6ring tick is the only way to unravel him on the stand. Can Kelley deliver? Or will Jackson walk into a trap when he questions G\u00f6ring on the stand?<\/p>\n

Is\u00a0Nuremberg\u00a0based on a true story?<\/p>\n

Yes, Nuremberg is based on the Nuremberg Trials<\/a>, during which 22 Nazi leaders were tried for their crimes between November 1945 and October 1946 by an international tribunal.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At the end of WWII, the Allied powers debated what to do with the Nazi war criminals they had captured. While some considered summary execution, US Secretary of War Henry Stimson argued that how the victors dealt with the remnants of the Nazi regime would affect the Allies\u2019 moral standing \u2014 especially if they used Hitler\u2019s own heinous methods by executing individuals without trial.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jackson then spearheaded the establishment of a legal framework for the trials, which included the creation of three newly prosecuted crimes: crimes against peace, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. G\u00f6ring and other Nazi leaders were individually charged with various combinations of all three, and a year-long series of tribunals established that in a postwar world, justice would be served in a courtroom rather than on the battlefield.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Many characters in the film are based on real people, including Hermann G\u00f6ring, Douglas Kelley, Robert H. Jackson, Burton Andrus, John Amen, Gustave Gilbert, David Maxwell-Fyfe, Howard Triest, and Elsie Douglas.<\/p>\n
