Judgment at Nuremberg

In this legal drama set in post-WWII Germany, a group of former judges stand trial for their involvement in the Nazi regime's atrocities. As the court proceedings unfold under the guidance of Chief Justice Haywood, the film delves into the complex moral dilemmas faced by those involved. Ernst Janning, the lead defendant, is forcefully represented by his defense attorney Hans Rolfe while offering a harrowing self-assessment of his own past actions. The perspective of a Nazi general's widow and an idealistic U.S. Army captain further enriches the narrative, as does the compelling testimony from reluctant witness Irene Wallner. This powerful movie explores themes of justice, accountability, and the weight of historical responsibility.
