Inglourious Basterds
Official Trailer & Production Deep Dive
"You probably heard we ain't in the prisoner-takin' business. We're in the Nazi killin' business."
Official Synopsis
In Nazi-occupied France during WWII, a group of Jewish-American soldiers known as "The Basterds" are chosen specifically to spread fear throughout the Third Reich by brutally hunting and scalping Nazis. Their path eventually crosses with Shosanna Dreyfus, a French-Jewish cinema proprietor plotting her own revenge against the high-ranking Nazi officials responsible for her family's death. Both plots converge during a high-stakes film premiere in Paris that could end the war forever.

- Stiglitz's Uniform: Actor Til Schweiger, a native German, refused to wear a Nazi uniform in films until he read he would spend the entire movie killing them.
- Polyglot Masterpiece: Only about 30% of the film is in English; the rest is a masterful mix of French, German, and Italian.
