Munich: The Edge of War
horizontal line

[Netflix Only] Christian Schwochow's takes poetic license in this powerful, riveting, factually inspired, well-acted, suspenseful, 130-minute, 2021 thriller based on Robert Harris' 2017 novel Munich that focuses on the naïve negotiation strategy of British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain (Jeremy Irons) in 1938 during a Munich conference, which was attended by Chancellor Adolf Hitler (Ulrich Matthes), Italian dictator Benito Mussolini (Domenico Fortunato), and French President Édouard Daladier (Stéphane Boucher), where he willingly sacrifices the fate of the Sudetenland in western Czechoslovakia—then an ally of Britain—by signing the Munich Agreement on Sept. 30, 1938, in an attempt to prevent a war and to secure the much desired "peace in our time" with Germany and follows his nervous-prone secretary (George MacKay), who has a wife (Brown Findlay) and young son (Aidan Hennessey), whose Oxford friend, German translator, and diplomat (Jannis Niewöhner) has been secretly collaborating with a Wehrmacht general in Berlin to stop the Nazi madman and, at great risk to himself, tries to warn Britain of Hitler's true intentions.
