In the immediate aftermath of the Second World War, as the world grapples
with the unveiled horrors of the Holocaust, U.S. Army psychiatrist Lt. Col.
Douglas Kelley (Rami Malek) is assigned the extraordinary task of assessing
the mental state of Hermann Göring (Russell Crowe), the notorious former
Reichsmarschall and Hitler’s second in command, along with other high-
ranking Nazi officials.
As the Allies – led by the unyielding chief U.S. prosecutor, Supreme Court
Justice Robert H. Jackson (Michael Shannon) alongside Sgt. Howie Triest (Leo
Woodall), David Maxwell-Fyfe (Richard E. Grant), Gustave Gilbert (Colin
Hanks), Col. John Amen (Mark O’Brien) and Burton C. Andrus (John Slattery) –
navigate the monumental task of creating an unprecedented international
tribunal to ensure the Nazi regime answers for its atrocities, Kelley gets to
know his ‘patients’. But he soon finds himself locked in a psychological duel
with Göring, whose charisma and cunning reveal a sobering truth: that
ordinary men can commit extraordinary evil.
