In January 1942, as the United States enters World War II, a conference assembles near Berlin. SS Gen. Heydrich (Kenneth Branagh) and his associate, Lt. Eichmann (Stanley Tucci) call the meeting to discuss the "evacuation" of Germany's Jews and other undesirables, a code word for their extermination in concentration camps. To begin this Final Solution, they must change the mind of a small group of men opposed to the idea, led by Chancellor Kritzinger (David Threlfall).

Nancy Banks-Smith Guardian 02/26/2020
The script of Conspiracy is flat and matter-of-fact, creviced by deep silences as middle management stare into the chasm that has opened at their feet. Go to Full Review Melvin Backman The New Yorker 08/23/2018
The result of a meeting is only as good as the parties present, their aims and their wills. Wannsee was not where the Holocaust's if became when but, rather, where when became how soon. Go to Full Review John Leonard New York Magazine/Vulture 02/05/2018
... Loring Mandel has written a script that's scary in its understatement and Frank Pierson has directed a television movie that's even scarier because it might just as well have been a board meeting of investment bankers... Go to Full Review David Keyes Cinemaphile.org 04/07/2015

Ulla J Nov 19 Brilliant acting, scary beyond measure. I feel sick, but glad I have seen it. I wonder how the actors felt making it See more Ramon L Nov 3 I thought I would be watching the "Conspiracy" to assassinate Adolf Hitler. Instead, it was a boring table discussion that was fixed on a single scene virtually all of the 58 minutes I was watching it before I walked out. See more Brad M 11/13/2024 For WW2 history buffs. Others may find it boring. See more MG_Claymore C @Claymore 11/07/2024 The banality of evil. See more David W 06/30/2024 Conspiracy is one of those films that reminds us of the mundane reality of evil. Beyond the message, the film is well-paced and demonstrates the filmmakers’ skill and talent by being engaging throughout while focusing solely on a single meeting held in a non-descript room on a normal afternoon. I would definitely watch this again. See more acsdoug D @acsdoug 04/01/2024 It depicts a very important historical event and is worth a recommendation on that basis alone. Kenneth Branagh gives an excellent performance as well. However, if a transcript of the conference exists why does so much of the movie consist of undocumented asides by the participants? It removes the sense of historical accuracy and moves into the realm of conjecture. In my opinion the German language film The Wannsee Conference - available with English subtitles on YouTube - is a better movie. See more Read all reviews
