The first official trailer for Nuremberg (2025) has arrived, and it looks to be one of the most powerful historical films in recent years. Directed by Edward Berger (All Quiet on the Western Front), the movie revisits the post-war trials that defined justice in the shadow of genocide.
From its first frames, Nuremberg establishes an atmosphere of tension and moral gravity. The muted color palette, meticulous set design, and emotionally restrained performances create a chilling authenticity. Ralph Fiennes stars as Chief Prosecutor Robert Jackson, delivering a commanding performance that balances conviction with exhaustion. Opposite him, Christoph Waltz portrays Hermann Göring in what already feels like an awards-worthy transformation.
The trailer doesn’t rely on spectacle. Instead, it focuses on faces, silence, and the unbearable weight of truth. Every shot feels like a question — what does justice mean when humanity has already failed itself? The editing builds momentum through courtroom exchanges and quiet, personal moments that humanize both accusers and accused.
Nuremberg looks set to become essential viewing for anyone drawn to history told with cinematic precision. Expect a release in early 2025. Watch the official trailer on Sony Pictures Classics
