Film enthusiasts have been left spellbound by the debut trailer for an eagerly awaited World War II drama that promises to be utterly compelling.

Boasting a stellar ensemble of British and Hollywood stars, this gripping thriller will delve into one of the most pivotal post-war moments in unprecedented detail.

No Time to Die and Oppenheimer actor Rami Malek takes on the role of American psychiatrist Douglas Kelley in the Sky Original production Nuremberg, the specialist charged with evaluating one of Adolf Hitler's most loyal Nazi associates.

Prior to the landmark Nuremberg Trials, Kelley was given the responsibility of assessing the psychological state of senior Nazi officials before proceedings could commence.

Gladiator legend Russell Crowe transforms into Hermann Göring, the Nazi military commander and Hitler's most devoted aide, reports the Express.

The historical drama's synopsis states: "The film unfolds as a gripping cat-and-mouse drama.

"Nuremberg features a stellar ensemble cast, including Michael Shannon, Richard E. Grant, and Leo Woodall as translator Howard Triest.

"Set in the shadow of the unimaginable crimes committed during the war, Nuremberg explores the human mind at its most chilling and complex."

Viewers will undoubtedly be thrilled to witness One Day heartthrob Woodall tackle his most demanding performance to date, appearing dramatically different from his charming romantic comedy persona.

With Nuremberg set to hit UK cinemas this November, cinema-goers have been expressing their excitement, with one particular element of the production capturing widespread attention. Russell Crowe's latest role as Hermann Göring has certainly caught the attention of movie buffs, with one YouTube user expressing surprise: "I never thought I will see Russell 'Maximus' Crowe as Hermann Göring.

"But here we go. Packed with great actors. I put on my watchlist 4 sure."

Another viewer anticipates the release, replying: "What a great cast, and original storyline. Looking forward to it."

A third chimes in with praise for the star-studded lineup: "So many excellent actors, it's going to be awesome," and adds, "This is how movies should be made."

Echoing the enthusiasm, another comments on the film's visual appeal: "Cast and cinematography look stunning."

However, not everyone on Reddit shared the same excitement, with some critical of the trailer.

One user didn't mince words: "I can't think of anything worse that a bombastic movie about the Nuremberg trial featuring Russell Crowe butchering another accent," and sarcastically remarked, "Jesus what the hell was this trailer? Bwaaaaaah."

Another Reddit user was unimpressed by the teaser: "This trailer kinda sucks lol I know it's a teaser but is it really going to have this weird a** style with that subject matter?"

Yet, even the critics acknowledged the intriguing casting choices: "Very interesting cast though."

With opinions divided, are you eager to see Nuremberg when it hits cinemas, or will you be skipping this WWII drama?

Nuremberg will be released in UK cinemas on 14th November, 2025.
