In 1942 the Nazi government faced the possibility of defeat: the Eastern front with Russia had reached stalemate and the Americans had entered the war. Fifteen leading members of the government were summoned to Wannsee, Berlin, to a meeting so secret that officially it did not take place. No records were kept and all the participants were sworn to secrecy. This film is a dramatic reconstruction of the one-day event. Ken Branagh displays a chilling intensity as SS-General Heydrich, who chairs and directs the meeting.
