Russell Crowe’s Highly Anticipated WWII Movie Just Put Him Back in the Oscars Conversation

Russell Crowe’s new WWII movie will be released in theaters in just a few months, but the film is already earning praise that has pushed the star back into the Oscars race for the first time in over 20 years. Crowe stars alongside Rami Malek (Bohemian Rhapsody) andMichael Shannon (Man of Steel) in Nuremberg, the gritty biopic following a WWII psychiatrist (Malek) who lands the job of evaluating Nazi leaders before the Nuremberg trials to see if they are fit to stand trial. He grows increasingly obsessed with understanding the evil that led to the death of millions during the war, and he forms a disturbing bond with Hermann Göring (Crowe), one of the leaders of the Nazi party.
