The Trial
1962 · 119 MIN · IMDB 7.6 · 25,334 VOTES · DIR. Orson Welles
Overview
Josef K wakes up in the morning and finds the police in his room. They tell him that he is on trial but nobody tells him what he is accused of. In order to find out about the reason for this accusation and to protest his innocence, he tries to look behind the façade of the judicial system. But since this remains fruitless, there seems to be no chance for him to escape from this nightmare.
