About
As of 2026, it's 33 years old.
Schindler's List is Steven Spielberg's unflinching dramatization of the Holocaust, telling the true story of Oskar Schindler, a German businessman who saved more than a thousand Jewish lives. Shot largely in stark black and white, it is widely regarded as one of the most important films ever made.
It treats its devastating subject with profound gravity and care, and won seven Academy Awards including Best Picture, while Spielberg used its profits to found a foundation preserving survivors' testimonies.
Harrowing, essential, and made with immense moral seriousness, Schindler's List is less entertainment than an act of remembrance — a film that exists to make sure no one forgets.
