"The film is set in Poland in World War II, at the time when Poland was occupied by Nazi's. The primary theme of the film is the events of the Holocaust and the persecution of Jews. The central character is Oskar Schindler, played by Liam Neeson, a Nazi businessman who recruits Jews to work in his factory, saving them from death in doing so. While he begins the film recruiting the Jews only for his own needs, by the end of the film he is actively trying to save them, and saves the lives of over 1200 Jews.
