Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for history buffs. If you loved Nuremberg or Munich, start here.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 54 min.
What might put you off
  • Rated R: meant for adults.
  • It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).

The breathtaking story of a man who nearly would have changed the world. In 1939, when Hitler tricked millions of people at the height of his power, radical Georg Elser — disparaged as an assassin — is one of the greatest resistance fighters.
