Synopsis
Inglourious Basterds begins in German-occupied France,
where Shoshanna Dreyfus (Mélanie Laurent) witnesses the execution of her
family at the hand of Nazi Colonel Hans Landa (Christoph Waltz). Shosanna

owner and operator of a cinema.
Elsewhere in Europe, Lieutenant Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt) organizes a group of
Jewish soldiers to engage in targeted acts of retribution. Known to their
enemy as "The Basterds," Raine's squad joins German actress and undercover
agent Bridget Von Hammersmark (Diane Kruger) on a mission to take down the
leaders of The Third Reich. Fates converge under a cinema marquee, where
Shosanna is poised to carry out a revenge plan of her own...
