A historically grounded drama about a lone resistance fighter's desperate attempt to assassinate Hitler, balancing intimate character study with the weight of historical consequence.

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.
