    • Synopsis
    • In the immediate aftermath of the fall of Berlin, former Reichsmarshal Hermann Göring (CROWE)—one of history’s greatest monsters and Hitler’s designated successor—surrenders to the Allies. What ensues is a battle of wills to shape the nature of a world reborn from the ashes of war.

      The Nuremberg Trials convene to hold accountable the architects of death with Supreme Court Justice Robert H. Jackson (SHANNON), the United States’ chief prosecutor of the Nazis, leading the charge. Jackson is driven to put their crimes on record and to use the law once wielded in the service of persecution to extract justice.

      But Göring proves elusive, keeping one step ahead of Jackson. The only hope to crack Göring lies in Douglas M. Kelley (MALEK), the army psychologist assigned to determine the fitness of the Nazis to stand trial. As Kelley probes Göring, searching for weaknesses to be exploited in the courtroom, the physician descends deep into the yawning void of understanding the human capacity for evil—threatening to lose himself in the process.

      Based on the chilling book “The Nazi and the Psychiatrist” by Jack El-Hai, Nuremberg is a cat-and-mouse thriller set in the shadow of the crimes that have haunted global history for decades to come.
