To those who knew him in 1930s Germany, Georg Elser (Christian Friedl) was a very ordinary, and apolitical, carpentry tradesman. His fear for his country’s future, however, found him embroiled--and very nearly succeeding--in a calculated one-man plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler by bomb blast as the Fuhrer publicly marked the 1939 anniversary of the Beer Hall Putsch. Remarkable study of a nearly pivotal moment in world history from "Downfall" director Oliver Hirschbiegel also stars Katharina Schüttler, Johann von Bülow, Burghart Klaußner. AKA: "Elser." 114 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: German; Subtitles: English. In German with English subtitles.
