In German-occupied France, Shosanna Dreyfus witnesses the execution of
her family at the hand of Nazi Colonel Hans Landa. Shosanna narrowly
escapes and flees to Paris, where she forges a new identity as the
owner and operator of a cinema. Elsewhere in Europe, Lieutenant Aldo
Raine organizes a group of Jewish soldiers to engage in targeted acts
of retribution. Known to their enemy as "The Basterds," Raine's squad
joins German actress and undercover agent Bridget Von Hammersmark on a
mission to take down the leaders of The Third Reich. Fates converge
under a cinema marquee, where Shosanna is poised to carry out a
revenge plan of her own...
