In Nazi-occupied Poland, Oskar Schindler is a German industrialist looking to profit from the war. But when he witnesses the horror of the Holocaust, he hatches a plan to save his Jewish workers from certain death. Risking everything, Schindler uses his factory as a refuge, bribing officials and sheltering hundreds from the concentration camps. As the Nazi regime tightens its grip, Schindler must outsmart the SS to keep his workers alive. In the face of unimaginable evil, one man finds the courage to stand up for what's right.
