The film is based on the Nuremberg trial after World War II and makes a profound reflection on World War II. On November 20, 1945, the justices of Russia, the United States, Britain and France walked into the Nuremberg Court in Germany, where the Nuremberg International military Tribunal, the first international court that attracted worldwide attention, opened. Twenty-one major war criminals identified by the allies were put on trial in history, including former Nazi Marshal Herman Goering, Hitler's deputy Rudolf Hess, and Nazi Foreign Minister Ribbtrop. Us Chief Justice Jackson first read out the general indictment listing the crimes of fascist inhumanity, while the cunning Nazis tried to exonerate themselves and played various tricks in an attempt to escape the final verdict of justice by unconventional means. Under very difficult circumstances, Nuremberg lasted a total of 315 days and held 218 trials, and the good and evil once again engaged in a fierce confrontation in different forms.
