EXCLUSIVE : Angel Studios , the outfit behind global blockbuster Sound of Freedom , has unveiled the full trailer for its true-life WWII thriller Bonhoeffer – see it above. Spotlighting the courage and sacrifice of the titular German pastor and theologian-turned-spy, the film is written and directed by Sully scribe Todd Komarnicki . Angel Studios will release domestically on November 22.

The drama’s subject is World War II hero Dietrich Bonhoeffer ( Jonas Dassler ), a pacifist pastor who conspired to bring an end to the Nazi regime, fearlessly speaking the truth while facing unyielding oppression and evil. 

The official synopsis reads: When a pacifist is called to a political act that could change the course of history, how will a man of honor respond? This is the true story of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a man who preached love while plotting the assassination of an evil tyrant. With world-shattering stakes, Bonhoeffer begs the question, how far will you go to stand up for what’s right?

Said Komarnicki, “Bonhoeffer is not just a man for all time, but for our time.”

Starring alongside Never Look Away’ s Dassler are August Diehl ( Inglorious Basterds ), Moritz Bleibtreu ( Run Lola Run ), Nadine Heidenreich ( Die Flaschenpost-Insel ), David Jonsson ( Rye Lane ), Clarke Peters ( Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri ) and Flula Borg ( Suicide Squad ). 

Producers include Komarnicki for A Guy Walks into a Bar Productions, Ralph Winter, Emmanuel Kampouris and Camille Kampouris.

Angel Studios, which showed the Bonhoeffer trailer at its CineEurope presentation today, is celebrating its inaugural year as a theatrical distributor, topping $300 million in global box office in 2023. During CinemaCon in April, it also dated other films on its upcoming slate including Homestead on December 20 and David — a new animated musical about the biblical king — on November 21, 2025.
