Inglourious Basterds (2009)
In 1941, SS-Standartenführer Hans Landa interrogates French farmer Perrier LaPadite as to the whereabouts of a Jewish family, the Dreyfuses. Landa suspects the Dreyfuses are hiding under their floorboards and, in exchange for the Nazis not murdering his family, LaPadite tearfully confirms it. The soldiers shoot through the floorboards, killing all but one of the Dreyfuses; Shosanna, the Dreyfus’ daughter, escapes. Three years later, Lieutenant Aldo Raine recruits Jewish-American soldiers to the Basterds, a commando unit formed to instill fear among Nazis by killing and scalping them behind enemy lines. They include Sergeant Donny “The Bear Jew” Donowitz, Sergeant Hugo Stiglitz, a rogue German soldier, and Corporal Wilhelm Wicki, the group’s translator. In Germany, Adolf Hitler interviews a German soldier, Private Butz, the only survivor of a Basterd attack, who reveals that Raine carved a swastika into his forehead to ensure he’ll forever be branded a Nazi, even after the war’s end, not revealing that he divulged military information privy to the Nazis to the Basterds.
In Paris, Shosanna Dreyfus is in hiding, operating a cinema under the name Emmanuelle Mimieux. She meets Fredrick Zoller, a German sniper famed for killing 250 Allied soldiers in a battle. Zoller stars in a Nazi propaganda film, Stolz der Nation (Nation’s Pride). Infatuated with Shosanna, Zoller convinces Joseph Goebbels to hold the premiere at her cinema. Landa, the head of security for the premiere, interrogates Shosanna, who manages to maintain her cover. Shosanna plots with her Afro-French lover and projectionist, Marcel, to set the cinema ablaze during the premiere, killing the Nazi leaders in attendance. Meanwhile, British Commando Lieutenant Archie Hicox is recruited to lead a British attack on the premiere with the Basterds.
