The majority of the shooting for Nuremberg (2025) took place in Hungary, where the production was located in Budapest. Filming was done between February 2024 and May 2024.

One of the filming locations for Nuremberg‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌ (2025) is Duna Palota (the Danube Palace) in Budapest, where the production took place. The location is a 19th-century building used for cultural events and performances. It is converted for internal bars and social settings in the movie, where the storyline's time and place coincide with the background given.

Production was brought to a close solely in Hungary, without the need for a location change between Germany and Central Europe. Also, with Budapest as the main shooting location, it was possible to have tighter control over the construction of the courtrooms, interrogation rooms, and detention areas which are central to the film’s narrative.

Nuremberg (2025) is a historical drama film narrating the events of the post-World War II Nuremberg trials with a focus on the work of Douglas Kelley, the chief psychiatrist who was in charge of assessing if the Nazi leaders in captivity were mentally and psychologically fit to be put on trial.

The movie revolves around Kelley's psychological evaluations, where he also interacts directly with Hermann Göring. Kelley and Göring exert what the motion picture describes as a psychological confrontation of understanding and dominance.

Thus mirroring the ideological struggle when the question of legal accountability met the post-war political reality.

Rami Malek is the lead of the movie, playing the role of Douglas Kelley, the psychiatrist who was in charge of interviewing the Nazi leaders. Russell Crowe acts as Hermann Göring, who was one of Adolf Hitler's closest associates and a prominent defendant during the trials. Their interaction, the rise and fall of their rapport, constitutes the main story of the film.
