Inglourious Basterds

In 1941, Colonel Hans Landa, known as the 'Hebrew Hunter,' interrogates French dairy farmer Perrier LaPadite. Under immense pressure to protect his family, LaPadite confesses to hiding the Jewish Dreyfus family beneath his floorboards, leading to a tragic fate for the innocent family.

In a brutal display of power, Colonel Landa orders his SS soldiers to shoot through the floor where the Dreyfus family is hidden. The family is mercilessly executed while a young girl named Shosanna escapes, setting the stage for her quest for revenge.

By the spring of 1944, Lieutenant Aldo Raine gathers a team of eight Hebrew-American soldiers, known as the 'Basterds'. He instructs them to collect 100 Nazi scalps, emphasizing that they will show no mercy to their enemies.

As the Basterds carve a path of terror through Nazi ranks, their legend grows, prompting even Adolf Hitler to take notice. Hitler personally interviews a soldier named Butz about the Basterds' notorious activities, showcasing their impact on Nazi morale.

Butz recounts a particularly gruesome incident involving Staff Sergeant Donny Donowitz, known as the 'Bear Hebrew.' Donowitz brutally beats his sergeant to death with a baseball bat, leaving a lasting impression on Butz and solidifying the Basterds' ruthless reputation.

Fast forward to June 1944, Shosanna, under the alias 'Emmanuelle Mimieux,' is now managing a cinema in Paris. She becomes infatuated with Fredrick Zoller, a German sniper who pursues her, ultimately leading to a significant turning point in her plan for revenge.

Fredrick Zoller convinces Joseph Goebbels to host the premiere of the Nazi propaganda film 'Stolz Der Nation' at Shosanna's cinema. Seizing this opportunity for vengeance, Shosanna partners with her lover Marcel to plan a deadly fire during the premiere.

British cinema critic Lieutenant Archie Hicox is recruited for 'Operation Kino' by General Ed Fenech and Prime Minister Winston Churchill. Hicox meets German actress Bridget Von Hammersmark to strategize infiltrating the cinema during the film's premiere.

A routine meeting at a tavern turns deadly when Sturmbannfuhrer Dieter Hellstrom suspects Hicox's true identity due to his unusual accent. An intense shootout ensues, resulting in the deaths of most, but leaving Hicox's allies Von Hammersmark and Wilhelm alive.

During the much-anticipated premiere, Landa uncovers Von Hammersmark's deception and privately confronts her. The tension escalates as Landa uses a personal item to secure his grasp on the situation, revealing his intention to leverage the war's outcome for personal gain.

While the film is showing, Zoller sneaks into the projection room to pursue Shosanna, but she fiercely rejects his advances. In a dire twist of fate, she shoots him fatally, yet he retaliates with a dying shot that wounds her as well.

As the chaos unfolds, Omar and Donowitz confront the guards protecting Hitler, creating a diversion. Meanwhile, Marcel ignites the highly flammable nitrate film, triggering a massive fire that engulfs the cinema and sowing terror among the attendees.

Amid the chaos, Raine and his comrades storm into the hall, gunning down Hitler, Goebbels, and other top Nazis. This climactic moment marks the destruction of the cinema and the end of many lives in a fiery finale of retribution.

In the aftermath of the chaos, Colonel Landa finds himself confronted by Raine amid the wreckage of the cinema. In a moment of poetic justice, Raine shoots Landa's radio operator and then carves a swastika into Landa's forehead, marking him forever as a Nazi.
