Oscar® winners Rami Malek and Russell Crowe lead an all-star cast in the gripping historical drama, NUREMBERG, based on Jack El-Hai’s 2013 non-fiction book, THE NAZI AND THE PSYCHIATRIST. With supporting work from Oscar nominees Michael Shannon (FREEHELD, CIFF 2015; WHAT THEY HAD, CIFF 2018) and Richard E. Grant, the film depicts the fascinating and terrifying events that led to the trial of the 20th Century.
The year is 1945. Hitler is dead and the Second World War is drawing to a close. Several figures within the Nazi high command have been apprehended by the Allies — among them the eerily charismatic Hermann Göring (Crowe). US Lt. Colonel Douglas Kelley (Malek), an army psychiatrist, is called in to evaluate the Nazi captives. He sees his directive as an opportunity to psychologically define evil, helping to ensure that such atrocities are never repeated while providing him with material for a surefire bestseller.
