Inhalt

Nürnberg 1948: Drei Jahre sind seit dem Ende des zweiten Weltkriegs vergangen. Im Rahmen der Nürnberger Kriegsverbrecherprozesse sind vier ehemalige NS-Richter angeklagt, das Recht für die nationalsozialistische Ideologie instrumentalisiert zu haben. Drei der vier Richter bekennen sich nicht schuldig, der Vierte, Ernst Janning, das große Vorbild seines deutschen Verteidigers Hans Rolfe, schweigt beharrlich. Den Vorsitz über die Verhandlung führt der amerikanische Provinzrichter Dan Haywood. Seine Aufgabe erweist sich als sehr schwierig, da im Zuge des Kalten Krieges darauf gedrängt wird, dem deutschen Volk allzu harte Urteile zu ersparen.

Nachdem Hans Rolfe in leidenschaftlichen Plädoyers die Unschuld seines Mandanten Ernst Janning beteuert, bricht dieser endlich sein Schweigen.

Pressestimmen

"Within the scope and depth of this picture, which runs for something more than three hours, there are many disturbing intimations and revealing performances. There are questions of the moral responsibility of political and religious powers, thoughts on the weaknesses of people and some shocking looks at concentration-camp films." (Bosley Crowther, The New York Times)

"There are no surprises in the direction, and Abby Mann's screenplay plays the expected tunes, but there's enough conviction on display to reward a patient spectator." (Time Out)

"Nothing is cut-and-dried, and writer Mann gives even minor characters such as Haywood's aide (William Shatner, in one of his first film roles) and servants (Virginia Christine and Ben Wright) extraordinary depth." (DVD Talk)

"Downbeat, intelligent, and compelling, the film is brilliantly constructed and acted, bringing lucid, forceful moral argumentation as well as emotional sympathy to both sides without tipping its hand until the powerful climax." (Steven D. Greydanus, Decent Films Guide)
