The Nazi and the psychiatrist: With Russell Crowe as Hermann Göring and Rami Malek as Dr. Douglas M. Kelley. Psychological historical drama by James Vanderbilt. Based on the book "The Nazi and the Psychiatrist. Hermann Göring, Dr. Douglas M. Kelley, and a Fatal Meeting of Minds at the End of WW II" by Jack El-Hai.
Nuremberg, 1945: The American military psychiatrist Dr. Douglas M. Kelley (Rami Malek) is tasked with examining the imprisoned main perpetrators of the Nazi regime. Among them is former Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring (Russell Crowe), whose intelligence, charisma and manipulative strength both challenge and fascinate Kelley.
Despite initial power games, the doctor succeeds in winning Göring's trust and gaining insight into his personality. As the trials begin in the courtroom, Kelley finds it increasingly difficult to maintain the necessary distance. He crosses moral boundaries and even jeopardizes the Nuremberg trial.
This judicial drama, with a top-class cast right down to the supporting roles, tells the story of the most momentous trial of the 20th century, which also marked the birth of international law.
