In January of 1942, 15 of Adolf Hitler's right-hand men gathered together for a special meeting in Wannsee, in which over the course of two hours they debated the pros and cons of Hitler's latest directive and the best way to implement it. By the time they left, they had laid the practical groundwork for the "Final Solution," with the execution of every Jewish person in Europe as their goal. A transcript of the meeting has survived, and that document provided the basis for the screenplay for Conspiracy, which dramatizes (in real time) the meeting that led to the greatest crime of the 20th century. Conspiracy stars Kenneth Branagh, Colin Firth, Stanley Tucci, and David Threlfall; the film was produced for the premium cable network HBO, where it first aired on May 19, 2001. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Frank Pierson's historical docudrama Conspiracy comes to DVD with a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original broadcast aspect ratio of 1.85:1. A closed-captioned English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Surround, while French and Spanish soundtracks have been recorded in Dolby Digital Stereo. Subtitles are accessible in all three of those languages. Supplemental materials include a commentary recorded by the director, biographies of the cast, and a pair of featurettes. This is a great release from HBO/Rysher. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide
