Steel your nerves before you watch this superb dramatization of Adolf Hitler's final days. Acclaimed British actor Frank Finlay (The Pianist, Life Begins, Prime Suspect) won a BAFTA Award® for Best Actor with his chilling portrayal of the once all-powerful Führer. Now a drug-addled, suicidal failure, the Nazi leader slowly realizes that the end draws near and he has nowhere else to hide. Join him if you dare-along with Eva Braun and his closest allies-in the Berlin bunker where his last ten days unfold, from Hitler's 56th birthday on April 20, 1945, until his death. Many consider Finlay's Hitler the most frightening of all, brilliantly capturing the dictator's evil madness.
