Oskar Schindler is a vainglorious and greedy German businessman who becomes an unlikely humanitarian amid the barbaric German Nazi reign when he feels compelled to turn his factory into a refuge for Jews.

Alternate Versions
The film, as shown in most countries, had the song "Yerushalayim shel Zahav" - Jerusalem of Gold - at the end. When the film was shown in Israel, audiences laughed at this, as this song was written after the 1967 war as a pop song! They then re-dubbed a song "Eli Eli" which was written by Hannah Sennesh during WWII over the end which was more appropriate. See more »
Just watched this for the second time - what a movie
No film has ever had the impact on me that this has had - even more so second time around. Hard at times to watch and I had to switch it off for a while.
Last scene is unforgettable.
Must be close to best film ever made and we can't forget it.
