How could any human being commit Hitler’s horrific crimes? And why didn’t anyone stop him before it was too late? Search for the answers in this searing, Emmy® Award-winning biopic of Adolf Hitler’s life, from his birth and childhood in Austria, to his rise to power before World War II.

Filmed on location in Prague with an all-star cast, including Robert Carlyle (Hamish Macbeth, The Full Monty) in a riveting performance as Hitler, plus Peter O’Toole (Venus, Goodbye, Mr. Chips, Lawrence of Arabia), Stockard Channing (The West Wing, Moll Flanders) and Liev Schreiber (Love in the Time of Cholera, The Manchurian Candidate, CSI).
