Meet the cast of Nuremberg

"Nuremberg" is a gripping postwar drama centered on an American psychiatrist tasked with assessing the mental competency of Nazi war criminals before their trial, leading to intense intellectual and ethical confrontations, notably with Hermann Göring, one of Hitler's closest associates. Trivia: 1) Richard E. Grant underwent extensive study of British legal history to authentically portray Sir David Maxwell-Fyfe, a key figure in the Nuremberg Trials. 2) Rami Malek, known for his transformative roles, stayed in character as Douglas Kelley throughout filming to capture the psychological tension of the psychiatrist's role fully. 3) The production took great care in recreating the atmosphere of postwar Germany, including shooting in historically significant locations to lend authenticity to the narrative.

Critics' Reviews

“Nuremberg” is based on The Nazi and the Psychiatrist, a nonfiction book by Jack El-Hai about the relationship between Hermann Göring (Russell Crowe), the highest-ranking surviving Nazi at Nuremberg, and American psychiatrist Jack Kelley (Rami Malek), who was brought to Nuremberg to evaluate imprisoned Nazi leaders and determine if they were fit to stand trial. As Smithsonian Magazine put it, Kelley wanted to “dissect evil” by determining “whether members of the Nazi high command shared a psychiatric condition that led them to commit unspeakable atrocities, the Holocaust chief among them.” Kelley got involved because there was an idealistic postwar push to make sure the men whose orders caused millions of deaths were held responsible for their actions. But his motives weren’t pure: he also figured he’d get a bestselling book out of the experience.
