Frankfurt, 1958. Johann Radmann is een jonge, ambitieuze advocaat. Via een tip van een journalist ontdekt hij dat bepaalde overheidsdiensten en instituten samenzweren om de nazi-misdaden in de doofpot te houden. Johanns vastberadenheid om dit tot de bodem uit te zoeken maakt dat procureur-generaal Fritz Bauer hem aanwijst om de leiding van het onderzoek naar deze praktijken op zich te nemen. Worstelend met een schat aan informatie, belandt Johann in een labyrint van schuld en leugens waar hij niet meer uit lijkt te komen.
IM LABYRINTH DES SCHWEIGENS is gebaseerd op de voor velen onbekende naoorlogse geschiedenis van het onderzoek dat leidde tot het tweede Auschwitz-proces, dat uiteindelijk plaatsvond tussen 1963 en 1965. Hoewel de meeste Duitsers in deze tijd van volle economische heropleving niet meer aan de oorlog herinnerd wilden worden, was er een handvol mannen en vrouwen die wilden verzekeren dat Duitsland haar oorlogsverleden niet zou ontvluchten.
Duitsland werd hiermee het eerste land dat zelf haar oorlogscriminelen vervolgde voor hun misdaden.

Synopsis
Directed by John Frankenheimer at the peak of his powers, The Train was made during a tremendous run of top-class pictures that also included Birdman of Alcatraz, Seven Days in May and The Manchurian Candidate, withSeconds soon to follow.
France, 1944. Art lover and fanatical Nazi Colonel Von Waldheim has plundered a Paris museum for its masterpieces, including works by Van Gogh, Picasso and Cezanne. His intention is to have them transported by rail to Berlin, but one man stands in his way. Aware that the Allied forces are fast approaching the French capital, Resistance fighter Labiche need only stall the train for a few more days, but he’ll have to use all of his wits and skills to do so.
Featuring two Oscar-winners in its lead roles – Burt Lancaster as Labiche and Paul Scofield as Von Waldheim – and Jeanne Moreau and Michel Simon in support, The Train combines star power with spectacular action sequences to produce a classic war movie.
