Conspiracy (2001): Frank Pierson's intense dramatisation of the 1942 Wannsee Conference

BBC/HBO's WWII picture used the only surviving transcript of the infamous Wannsee Conference outside Berlin, where Nazi bigwigs covertly planned the 'Final Solution of the Jewish Question'.

The phrase 'the banality of evil' is never more apt than in the case of Conspiracy, where the bureaucrats treat their genocidal task as a purely a matter of logistics, manpower and costs.

Only Friedrich Wilhelm Kritzinger (David Threlfall), the Deputy Head of the Reich Chancellery expresses any qualms whilst the others fall into line, some of the slightly less enthusiastic attendees aware that the intimidating conference organiser SS-Obergruppenführer Reinhard Heydrich (Kenneth Branagh) will be noting any reluctance. 

Both Branagh and Kevin McNally (the toadying Martin Luther in Conspiracy) also appeared in 2008's Valkyrie, this time as the anti-Nazis Major General Henning von Tresckow and Dr. Carl Friedrich Goerdeler respectively.

Other cast members include Colin Firth, Stanley Tucci and an early appearance by a young Tom Hiddleston.

Director Frank Pierson (1925-2012) also wrote the scripts for Cool Hand Luke (1967), Dog Day Afternoon (1975) and towards the end of life some episodes of Mad Men.

In 1992 he helmed Citizen Cohn, the HBO biopic of Trump's scumbag former lawyer/mentor Roy Cohn, played by James Woods, himself a prominent Trump supporter nowadays.
