First Teaser for Post WWII Showdown ‘Nuremberg’ Starring Russell Crowe & Rami Malek

The first teaser for Nuremberg has arrived, and it wastes no time confronting the ghosts of history. Set in the aftermath of World War II, the upcoming courtroom drama places Hermann Göring, Nazi Germany’s highest-ranking surviving official under the microscope and on the stand.

Russell Crowe steps into the chilling role of Göring, portraying the infamous Reichsmarschall as he awaits trial in a secure Allied prison. The film zeroes in on the psychological chess match between Göring and U.S. Army psychiatrist Douglas Kelley, played by Rami Malek, who must assess whether the war criminal is mentally competent to face justice.

Based on Jack El-Hai’s non-fiction work The Nazi and the Psychiatrist, the movie takes a more cerebral route through the Nuremberg trials. While past dramatizations have focused on courtrooms and speeches, Nuremberg drills into the quieter, tenser conversations behind locked doors, where charm can be a weapon, and the line between sanity and monstrosity blurs.

Crowe takes center stage as Göring, portrayed with a measured authority that dominates the prison scenes. Opposite him, Malek’s Douglas Kelley is calm but visibly unsettled, tasked with peeling back the layers of a man responsible for unspeakable crimes. Michael Shannon appears as Robert H. Jackson, the unwavering prosecutor whose mission is to hold Göring and his fellow Nazi leaders publicly accountable in a trial that changed global law.

Joining the ensemble are Leo Woodall, Richard E. Grant, Colin Hanks, and John Slattery, each lending gravity to the film’s moral battleground. Directed and written by James Vanderbilt, Nuremberg looks to balance courtroom intensity with the behind-the-scenes psychological unease of postwar reckoning.

Nuremberg is slated to open in select theaters this November 7 in the US, angling squarely for awards season. While a UK release is expected a week later on November 14. With its heavyweight cast and volatile historical subject, the film is poised to reignite debate, provoke reflection and remind us that evil often arrives dressed in civility.
