00:01I'm to put a team together and do our best to protect buildings, bridges and art before the nazis destroy
00:07everything.
00:08How many men? Six. Jesus. Well, with you it's seven. That's much better.
00:13Mr. President, we are at a point in this war that is the most dangerous to the greatest achievements known
00:18to man.
00:19Hitler really wanted it all. These guys risked their lives to rescue our shared history and culture.
00:26There's no question about it. It's the biggest treasure hunt ever.
00:34The Monuments Men are a team of specialists who are sent to France to retrieve art stolen by the nazis.
00:41They were men that were far beyond the age that they were going to be drafted into the war.
00:46To go after that art and try to save it is this incredibly noble endeavor.
00:51The artworks would have been appropriated by a power that had no right to it.
00:56The mission itself is very dangerous.
01:00The Nazis are on the run, but they've taken everything with them.
01:02All hell's breaking loose here!
01:05And part of the plot of this film is Hitler's Nero decree, which said that if anything happened to him...
01:11...everything that they had stolen was to be destroyed.
01:13What is all this?
01:14People's lives.
01:15The war is winding down and everyone's closing in on Berlin.
01:18It's your responsibility now.
01:20Hitler is dead!
01:24Six million pieces were stolen.
01:26The Germans would have blown up a lot of it.
01:28They had two-ton bombs in some of the mines.
01:31Frank, we gotta go!
01:34Let's get out of here.
01:37If you destroy an entire generation of people's culture, it's as if they never existed.
01:43That's what Hitler wants.
01:45And it's the one thing we can't allow.
01:47It's so rare to do any story that people don't know.
01:50It's a heist movie, a war movie, and it's about people who are willing to sacrifice everything to save what
01:57is the very best of us, of humanity.
02:01To the Monuments Man.
