Set in Berlin in 1945, this powerful and provocative war drama retells the final days of the Second World War as recorded in the diaries of Adolf Hitler’s private secretary, Traudl Junge, while barricaded with Hitler and his closest confidants in the Führer’s secret bunker.

Directed by Oliver Hirschbiegel (The Experiment) with an astonishing central performance by Bruno Ganz (The Manchurian Candidate) as history’s most notorious figure and brutal dictator, this unprecedented and controversial insider’s perspective is gripping insight into the madness and desperation of Hitler in the final hours of the war as the Russian Army closes in.
