Rommel

This historical war drama focuses on the final seven months of German Field Marshal Erwin Rommel's life in 1944. Tasked with organizing defenses along the French coast to stop an Allied invasion, Rommel struggles with strategic disagreements with other commanders and a lack of reinforcements from Hitler. As the situation grows desperate, Rommel forms a bond with his deputy, General Speidel, who suggests joining a plot to assassinate the Nazi leader. The narrative explores Rommel's internal conflict as he balances his loyalty to Hitler against his awareness of the regime's detachment from reality.
