影片讲述第一次世界大战，托曼尼亚王国独裁者辛格尔（查理·卓别林饰）上台。他的大肆扩张导致战乱不断民不聊生。并且他大搞阴谋政策，煽动民众对犹太人的敌对与仇恨，让犹太人民陷入水深火热的灾难之中。被征入伍的犹太人理发师查理（查理·卓别林饰）更是在这样的高压政策下难逃一劫。当查理逃出边境时，被驻守在这里的军队误认为是独裁者辛格尔，他趁机做了一场“为自由而战斗”的大演说。 该片是查理·卓别林的第一部有声片，摄于希特勒统治最为黑暗的时期，片中对他辛辣讽刺跟丑化比比皆是。本片荣获第13届（1941）奥斯卡最佳电影、最佳男主角、最佳男配角、最佳编剧、最佳音乐5项提名。
大独裁者 的完整演员阵容
Charlie Chaplin
Adenoid Hynkel, Dictator of Tomania / A Jewish Barber
Charlie Chaplin's performance as Adenoid Hynkel, Dictator of Tomania, and a Jewish barber in 'The Great Dictator' is a masterclass in satire and physical comedy. His portrayal of Hynkel, a thinly veiled parody of Adolf Hitler, is both hilarious and chilling, as he lampoons the dictator's mannerisms and speeches. Meanwhile, his turn as the barber, who is mistaken for Hynkel, allows Chaplin to showcase his trademark slapstick humor and heartwarming pathos. It's a testament to Chaplin's skill as an actor and filmmaker that he was able to tackle such serious subject matter with such humor and grace.
