Following the defeat of Germany in WWII, the allies determine that there must be an accounting of German war crimes.

Twenty-four Nazis, representative of all sections of military and civilian life, are chosen to stand trial for their crimes. The preparations for the trial, the trial itself, and its aftermath are shown through the eyes of Chief Prosecutor Robert Jackson (Alec Baldwin), as well as Reichsmarshal Hermann Goering (Brian Cox).

“Nuremberg” also stars Canadian acting great, Christopher Plummer.
