James Vanderbilt's highly lauded historical drama Nuremberg has formally begun its OTT streaming in India. The film had a successful theatrical run that started in November 2025, and now, on January 4, 2026, you can watch it on Prime Video.
What is the true story behind Nuremberg?
The Nazi and the Psychiatrist by Jack El-Hai is a non-fiction work that Nuremberg is based on. A lesser-known but crucial psychological aspect of the Nuremberg Trials that followed World War II is the subject of the narrative. To determine if high-ranking Nazi detainees are mentally fit to stand trial for war crimes, the tale revolves around Dr Douglas Kelley, a U.S. Army psychiatrist who is given the daunting duty.
Hermann Göring, the highest-ranking surviving Nazi official and former Reichsmarschall, and Kelley engage in a high-stakes psychological struggle throughout the film. The film follows Kelley as he tries to "dissect evil" and determine if the Holocaust killers had a common mental illness, all the while the world watched the court hearings. The conversations between inmates are intimate and frequently terrifying.
Which Oscar-winning actors lead the Nuremberg cast?
The film is spearheaded by two highly acclaimed actors who have won Oscars for their roles. The charismatic and manipulative Hermann Göring is portrayed by Russell Crowe. Playing the role of Dr Douglas Kelley, Rami Malek shows a guy whose moral and mental health are affected by being close to powerful people.
Michael Shannon appears as Chief Prosecutor Robert H. Jackson, a role in which he advocates for a proper judicial trial instead of swift execution. Richard E. Grant, Leo Woodall, and John Slattery are among the other important cast members. Colonel Burton C. Andrus is played by John Slattery. Richard E. Grant plays David Maxwell-Fyfe.
How has Nuremberg been received by critics and festivals?
Zodiac and Truth writer-director James Vanderbilt approaches the historical period with extreme care. The film received a four-minute standing ovation during its world debut at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). India released the film in theatres on November 7, 2025, just before the 80th anniversary of the actual trials.
The film is now available on OTT after nearly two months of theatrical release exclusivity. It had a brief stint in late December as a digital rental on a few platforms, but it is now available to Prime Video subscribers in India. For those who were unable to watch the film on the big screen, this 148-minute drama—praised for its "psychological intensity and timely relevance"—is now available on OTT.
