The Captain
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Captain is a 2017 World War II German-language drama directed by Robert Schwentke (Red, Flightplan). The film is set in 1945 at the end of the Second World War, as Corporal Willi Herold is mercilessly hunted down by the merciless Captain Junker, who considers him a deserter. But shortly before his expected death, Willi discovers in a car at the roadside a medal-captained uniform of the Luftwaffe, which he simply brushes over. After donning the new uniform, he quickly slips into the role of a German officer and soon scattered German soldiers begin to follow his orders, no matter how ridiculous. Willi tests his newly gained power of disposition with tragic results to numerous prisoners of war. The film was loosely based on actual events.
