What is the streaming home of Nuremberg

As of late January 2026, the historical drama Nuremberg is not currently available to stream on Netflix. Viewers looking to watch the movie from their living rooms can currently find it for rent or purchase on major platforms such as Amazon Prime Video and the Apple TV Store.

The film is a Sony Pictures production, which typically follows a specific release pattern before transitioning to subscription services. According to current industry trends, Sony titles often land on Netflix several months after their initial theatrical and digital debut. This suggests that while viewers cannot hit play on Netflix today, the movie will probably join the platform’s library later this year.

The plot follows the true story of the 1945 trials, where the Allies sought justice for the atrocities of the Holocaust. Rami Malek’s character, Lt. Col. Douglas Kelley, is tasked with determining if the captured Nazi leadership is mentally fit to stand trial. The narrative transforms into a complex psychological chess match as Kelley attempts to deconstruct the narcissistic mind of Russell Crowe’s Göring.

Exploring historical dramas on Netflix

If viewers are craving the same tension found of Nuremberg, Netflix offers a strong selection of historical and World War II dramas. One standout title is Munich: The Edge of War, which dives into the high-pressure political intrigues just before the outbreak of global conflict.

Another compelling option is the Academy Award-winning All Quiet on the Western Front, which captures the visceral and psychological toll of warfare. While Nuremberg focuses on the aftermath and accountability, this film serves as a haunting reminder of the events that led to the courtroom. Netflix also hosts Operation Finale, a film that depicts the later hunt for Nazi officials, echoing the themes of justice and retribution.
