Nuremberg is a 2000 Canadian/United States television docudrama, based on the bo
ok Nuremberg: Infamy on Trial by Joseph E. Persico, that tells the story of the
Nuremberg Trials.
Part one
At the close of World War II, Hermann Gring surrenders to the Americans and enjoy
s the hospitality of a U.S. Air Force base. Samuel Rosenman, acting on the order
s of U.S. President Harry S. Truman, recruits Justice Robert H. Jackson to prepa
re a war crimes tribunal against Gring and the surviving Nazi leadership. Gring, A
lbert Speer and others are arrested for war crimes and imprisoned in a U.S. Army
stockade in Bad Mondorf. Jackson, his assistant Elsie Douglas, and his prosecut
ion team fly to Europe. Psychologist Gustave Gilbert arrives at the stockade wit
h prisoner Hans Frank, who has attempted suicide.
Jackson negotiates with Allied representatives Sir David Maxwell-Fyfe, General I
ona Nikitchenko and Henri Donnedieu de Vabres to ensure a unified prosecution. J
ackson selects the Nuremberg Palace of Justice for the site of the trials and re
construction work commences. Gring and the others are stripped of their rank and
transferred to the prison in Nuremberg where they come into conflict with the gu
ards under the command of the strict Colonel Burton C. Andrus. Major Airey Neave
serves Gring, Speer and the other with their indictments. U.S. judge Francis Bid
dle arrives to take control of the court but reluctantly passes the honour at Ja
ckson s insistence. Following the suicide of prisoner Robert Ley, round-the-clock
watches are posted and Gilbert is appointed prisoner liaison.
Sir Geoffrey Lawrence opens the trial with all defendants pleading not guilty an
d Jackson gives a stirring opening statement. At lunch a jovial Gring holds court
over the other defendants while Speer begins to show signs of repentance. Maxwe
ll-Fyfe puts forward an emotive eyewitness account of the massacre of Jews while
Jackson reads out dry documentation. As the court begins to tire of Jackson s met
iculous approach, Maxwell-Fyfe urges pushing on to the witness interviews, which
reveal the horrors of the concentration camps. The court is shaken by documenta
ry footage of the camps.
Part two
Speer explains Gring s dominance to Gilbert and insists that his control over the o
thers must be broken. Gring takes the stand and begins speaking to the German peo
ple. Jackson, at Gilbert s suggestion, has Gring isolated. Under cross-examination,
Gring outmanoeuvers and humiliates Jackson, who later accuses Biddle of giving Gr
ing free rein in court. Douglas talks Jackson out of tendering his resignation,
and the two share a kiss. Under advice from Maxwell-Fyfe, Jackson returns to con
front Gring with evidence of his crimes against the Jews and successfully dismiss
es the defendant s denials.
At a Christmas party, the housekeeper refuses to serve the Russians, but Douglas
rescues the situation before slipping away with Jackson. Gilbert visits the def
endants and, under Jackson s advice, attempts to convince them to take responsibil
ity for their crimes. Andrus relaxes the prison rules for Christmas, and Gring sh
ares a friendly drink with his guard, Lt. Tex Wheelis. The cross-examination of
the defendants intensifies and the defence calls Rudolf H, who casually reveals th
e horrors of Auschwitz. Speer is implicated in the enslavement of foreign worker
s by fellow defendant Fritz Sauckel and in response accepts collective responsib
ility for the crimes of the Nazi regime.
Gilbert interviews Gring s wife and she reveals Hitler s orders to have them all exec
uted, which that led to the family s surrender. Jackson is moved by Gilbert s summat
ion of his examinations that the Nazi s main evil was a complete lack of empathy,
to give an impassioned closing statement. Goring uses his final statement to con
demn the trial, and is sentenced along with 10 others to death by hanging. Speer
uses his final statement to commend the tribunal and is given 20 years in priso
n. Gring commits suicide after his request to be executed by firing squad is deni
ed. Andrus presides over the executions of the others while Jackson and Douglas
head home.
