"John Rabe" tells the incredible true story of a German businessman who became a unlikely hero during the Nanjing Massacre in 1937. When the Japanese army invades the city, John Rabe (played by Ulrich Tukur) uses his connections with the Nazi party to establish a safety zone for civilians, ultimately saving over 200,000 lives. Despite the challenges he faces from both the Japanese army and his own personal struggles, Rabe remains determined to protect the innocent people in his care. With the help of a diverse group of international allies, including a French nun and an American doctor, Rabe's bravery and selflessness inspire hope in the face of unimaginable horror.
