Based on the real-life pursuit of Nazi hunter Fritz Bauer, The People vs. Fritz Bauer follows the determined West German prosecutor as he relentlessly investigates Adolf Eichmann’s presence in postwar Germany. Set in the 1950s–60s, Bauer battles political resistance, bureaucratic inertia, and media pressure while assembling a fragile case that could expose a nation’s hidden past. A tense, morally complex legal thriller about justice, memory, and accountability.
