Nuremberg
Europe, 1945. The war is over, but the battle for justice is about to begin.
Twenty-one members of the Nazi high command stand in a charged courtroom inside Nuremberg's Palace of Justice. Twenty-one pleas of Not Guilty are entered. Will the trial of these notorious men be a forum for Allied vengeance or a quest for justice?
Based on Joseph E. Persico's acclaimed book Nuremberg: Infamy on Trial and featuring momentous dialogue taken from case transcripts, Nuremberg is a compelling courtroom drama about the post-World War II Trial of the Century. Alec Baldwin, Jill Hennessy, Christopher Plummer, Brian Cox and Max von Sydow star in this vivid work filled with intellectual fire and righteous courage.

As colossal as the History of this event - imagination201
With a humongous cast of heavyweight and then no-so-well-known actors and actresses, this movie does honour to the morale men and women who wrote this page of History that ensured the respect of Peace and of human principles, or else of the assurance that there will be consequences to any unlawful action.
Alec Baldwin carries the oppressing weight of this movie with all the grace and power that we've come to expect of him, but he's not alone, and that makes this movie even better than better.
A must see!Law & Order, set in the past and with a larger budget - outlander78
Except for the historical setting, this could have been an extended Law & Order episode. Fittingly, Jill Hennessey has a large role in the movie. I do not know enough about the Nuremberg Trials to determine if the movie is historically accurate or not, but it does provide an interesting look at how the post-war setting and international politics affected the trial. Alec Baldwin, Hennessey, and especially Brian Cox all do a great job portraying historical figures.Nuremberg - kstar0327
This a great epic movie, but let me warn you it's a long movie 3 hours long so not for something quick.
This is the story of the Nuremberg Trial after WW II where they tried Nazi War Criminals. I thought this movie was good and it was as close to history as possible. Alec Baldwin plays Robert Jackson chief prosecutor in the trial and I thought that he did a great job. I have seen this movie before and this time I saw things that I had missed the 1st time. A good watch for a history buff.
