History professor Deborah Lipstadt (Rachel Weisz) is accused of libel by historian David Irving (Timothy Spall). The reason is a dispute about the existence of Holocaust which Irving denies. Deborah is convinced that everybody is aware of the war horrors, but Irving requires her to submit a real proof which would convict him of lying. Based on the actual case, the star-cast courtroom drama was nominated for BAFTA award.
