Nuremberg – Watch Russell Crowe, Rami Malek and Michael Shannon in the trailer for the film about the Nuremberg trials

Releasing in cinemas on 14th November, Nuremberg boasts an extraordinary ensemble cast, including Academy Award® winner Rami Malek as Göring’s psychiatrist Douglas Kelly, Academy Award® nominee Michael Shannon, Academy Award® nominee Richard E. Grant and breakout star Leo Woodall, who speaks German in the role of translator Howard Triest. Written and directed by James Vanderbilt, Nuremberg is a cat-and-mouse thriller set in the shadow of the crimes that have haunted global history for decades to come

Based on the book “The Nazi and the Psychiatrist” by Jack El-Hai, Nuremberg is inspired by the true story of the eponymous trials held by the Allies against the defeated Nazi regime. The film centres on American psychiatrist Douglas Kelley (Malek), who is tasked with determining whether Nazi prisoners are fit to stand trial for their war crimes. He finds himself in a complex battle of wits with Hermann Göring (Crowe), Hitler’s right-hand man.
