Based on the incredible true story of Georg Elser, a 36-year-old German carpenter who was only 13 minutes shy of killing Adolf Hitler during an elaborate, yet failed assassination attempt on November 8, 1939.
Starring Christian Friedel (Amour Fou, The White Ribbon) as Georg Elser, "13 Minutes" is the latest directorial effort from Oliver Hirschbiegel, the acclaimed German director of 2004's Oscar-nominated Hitler drama "Downfall."
The WWII thriller tells Elser's life story as a working-class family man who became so infuriated at the Nazi party that he secretly constructed a time bomb and placed it under a stage where Hitler was scheduled to deliver a speech. Ultimately, Hitler cut his speech short by 13 minutes and had left the building before the bomb went off. Elser was eventually found, arrested, mercilessly interrogated for days, and thrown in a concentration camp.
"13 Minutes" is scheduled to open in select U.S. theaters on March 17, 2017. Watch the newly-released U.S. trailer, above.
