Saloman (Karl Markovics) is a Jewish entrepreneur who is a master counterfeiter. When he is put in a concentration camp, his talents are noted, and he becomes a key contributor to the counterfeiting program. But team member Adolf (August Diehl) is attempting to undermine the operation. Thus begins the dilemma of choosing between helping the enemy–the Nazis–vs. the consequences of potentially losing their lives. An Academy Award was received for Best Foreign Language Film.

Meanwhile, Jewish-American soldiers, the "Basterds"–led by Lieutenant Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt)–are on their own Nazi hunting mission, and they join undercover agent Bridget von Hammersmark (Diane Kruger) with their own plan to kill Hitler and bring an end to the Third Reich. What Shosanna doesn't know is that the "Basterds" are planning to attack her theater, but Col. Hans "The Jew Hunter" Landa (Christoph Waltz), who has wiped out Shosanna's whole family, is hot on their trail. 1 User Review
