While Russell Crowe won an Oscar for Gladiator in 2002, Rami Malek won Oscar for Bohemian Rhapsody in 2019, and now they collaborated for the first time in Nuremberg. The historical drama made its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) this September and received a full four-minute standing ovation. Well, before Nuremberg hits theatres in November, let's catch every details about the more to grow more interest for it.
When to release Nuremberg
The upcoming historical drama has a brilliant mix of political and psychological thrills in it. Nuremberg is releasing in cinemas on November 7, 2025. The title of the movie refers to the Nuremberg trials that was held after World War II, focusing on the psychological tension between a psychiatrist and a high-ranking Nazi war criminal.
What to expect from Nuremberg
The core of the movie is the battle of wits between psychiatrist Douglas Kelly (Rami Malek) and Nazi criminal Hermann Göring (Russell Crowe) during post-World War II Nuremberg trials. The movie is based on Jack El-Hai's book, The Nazi and the Psychiatrist, that explores the nature of evil and and the struggle to understand the human capacity for atrocity. While the larger backdrop is the trial, the story's focus is on the personal dynamics.
Unlike general courtroom dramas, Nuremberg promises to show less about the procedural of the trail and more about the human psychology behind the crimes, exploring how educated and intelligent men become complicit during genocide.
Although Nuremberg is based on real events and real people's life stories, the movie uses dramatisation to create a compelling narrative, hence some audience might find minor historical inaccuracies, but highlights horrific real footage of concentration camps during the trials.
What does the Nuremberg trailer show
The trailer shows Russell Crowe’s character Hermann Göring being arrested by the US forces, and placed in the prison to await for the trial. The video later introduces Rami Malek as Douglas Kelly the psychiatrist who's been charged to examine Göring and his other fellow Nazis.
The teaser sets a thrilling drama surrounding Kelly's rigorous interrogations and his battle of wits with Göring's psychological layers. The video also highlights One Day series-fame Leo Woodall as an US soldier Sgt. Howie Triest, who serves as an interpreter for the Nuremberg trials.
