The story is divided into five chapters. During World War II, Germany occupied France. German Colonel Hans (Christoph Waltz) was known as the "Jew Hunter". During a massacre of Jews, the young girl Susanna (Mélanie Laurent) escaped by chance. At the same time, eight American Jewish soldiers, led by Lieutenant Aldo (Brad Pitt), sneaked into German-occupied France to assassinate German soldiers. Their actions were elusive and cruel, posing a considerable threat to the German army. They were called "bastards". Three years later, Susanna came to Paris and inherited her aunt's cinema. She met the German combat hero, Friedrich (Daniel Brühl), the starring actor of the movie "National Glory". Friedrich, who fell in love with Susanna at first sight, persuaded German Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels (Sylvester Groth) to premiere "National Glory" in Susanna's theater, and Hitler (Martin Wuttke) himself would also attend. Susanna decided to burn down the theater during the screening; and under the arrangement of German spy actress Bridget (Diane Kruger), the British and American joint assassination operation "Chino" would also be carried out on the night of the premiere... The film was nominated for the 2009 Cannes Film Festival Palme d'Or, and won seven nominations including the 82nd Academy Award for Best Director and Best Picture, and won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor (Christoph Waltz) and the Cannes Film Festival Best Actor Award.
