Göring

Judgment is coming.

“You are standing inside a secret military prison. It houses what’s left of the Nazi high command. The governments of Russia, France, Great Britain and our United States will put these men on trial for their lives.”

We have the first trailer for Nuremberg, writer-director James Vanderbilt‘s historical drama starring Michael Shannon, Rami Malek and Russell Crowe that wowed the Toronto Film Festival last month. Watch it above.

World War II in the European theater has ended, Adolf Hitler is dead, and his acolyte and designated successor Herman Göring (Crowe) has been captured. The Allies, led by the unyielding chief prosecutor, Robert H. Jackson (Michael Shannon), have the task of ensuring that he and the other surviving leaders of Nazi regime answers for the unveiled horrors of the Holocaust. When told that Hitler’s right-hand man had been taken alive, Jackson’s first question is, “What are they gonna do with him?”

Meanwhile, a U.S. Army psychiatrist (Malek) is locked in a dramatic psychological duel with former Reichsmarschall and World War I ace pilot Göring.

Leo Woodall, Richard E. Grant, John Slattery, Mark O’Brien, Colin Hanks, Lydia Peckham and Wrenn Schmidt also star in the pic based on Jack El-Hai’s book The Nazi and the Psychiatrist.

The film got an unusually-long-for-TIFF four-minute ovation after world premiere on its September 7, nearly three months after Sony Pictures Classics picked up its U.S. rights. Sky bought it for the UK days later. Nuremberg will hit North American theaters on November 7.
