It was the greatest art heist in history

Based on the true story of the greatest treasure hunt in history, The Monuments Men is an action drama focusing on seven over-the-hill, out-of-shape museum directors, artists, architects, curators, and art historians who went to the front lines of WWII to rescue the world’s artistic masterpieces from Nazi thieves and return them to their rightful owners. With the art hidden behind enemy lines, how could these guys hope to succeed?

Monuments Men - Ungewöhnliche Helden
  • a.k.a. Monuments Men: Ungewöhnliche Helden

Als der Zweite Weltkrieg sich dem Ende zuneigt und Nazideutschland an allen Fronten immer weiter zurückgedrängt wird, erlässt Hitler den Befehl, dass keine Kunstwerke für den Feind zurückgelassen werden sollen. Alles, was nicht mitzunehmen ist, soll vernichtet werden. Genau diese Zerstörung wertvoller, historischer Kunstwerke zu verhindern ist die Aufgabe des ungewöhnlichen amerikanischen Platoons um Anführer George Stout. Zusammen mit seinem Freund James Rorimer und fünf weiteren Kunstexperten begibt sich Stout direkt an die Westfront, um den Schaden, soweit dies möglich ist, einzudämmen. Doch seitens der Armee wird der Spezialeinheit hauptsächlich Unverständnis entgegen gebracht und die Männer, die mit dem Pinsel besser umgehen können als mit dem Gewehr, müssen sich ihren Respekt hart erkämpfen...

Monuments Men

La plus grande chasse au trésor du XXe siècle est une histoire vraie. MONUMENTS MEN est inspiré de ce qui s’est réellement passé. En pleine Seconde Guerre mondiale, sept hommes qui sont tout sauf des soldats – des directeurs et des conservateurs de musées, des artistes, des architectes, et des historiens d’art – se jettent au cœur du conflit pour aller sauver des œuvres d’art volées par les nazis et les restituer à leurs propriétaires légitimes. Mais ces trésors sont cachés en plein territoire ennemi, et leurs chances de réussir sont infimes. Pour tenter d’empêcher la destruction de mille ans d’art et de culture, ces Monuments Men vont se lancer dans une incroyable course contre la montre, en risquant leur vie pour protéger et défendre les plus précieux trésors artistiques de l’humanité…
