This production has already earned a place on the podium of action classics that document historical events.
The Amazon platform, Prime Video, added an action film classic to its catalog. Inglourious bastards It is one of the most acclaimed films, not only for its cast with Brad Pitt at the helm, but for the excellence to which its director, Quentin Tarantino, has accustomed us.

Prime Video: what Inglourious Basterds is about
The story focuses on a group of American Jewish soldiers led by Aldo Raine and known as bastards. In addition to their confrontation on the battlefield, their religious origin and the violence that Nazism is carrying out against their people, makes the thirst for revenge escalate to unthinkable levels. The film knows how to navigate between war violence and black humor for tragic situations.
The main mission of this group that has become a wild squad is specific: sweep through Nazi-occupied French territory terrorizing them in such a way that they repent of all the heinous acts committed against their enemies and specifically against the Jewish people. In parallel, the story of a young woman who survived after her family was murdered and only seeks revenge against the Germans is shown. And both stories converge to give an ending that is as expected as it is satisfactory.
