The film stars Russell Crowe as Herman Göring and Rami Malek as Lt. Colonel Douglas Kelley. The cast also features Colin Hanks, Mark O’Brien, Michael Shannon, Richard E. Grant, John Slattery, Leo Woodall, and Lydia Peckham. Principal photography for the film has recently officially wrapped.

The production team comprises Richard Saperstein, William Sherak, Brad Fischer, Istvan Major, and Paul Neinstein. They are joined by Walden Media's Frank Smith, Benjamin Tappan, and Cher Hawrysh.

The executive production team includes Annie Saperstein, Brooke Saperstein, Beau Turpin, W Porter Payne Jr., Géza Deme, and Tamás Hajnal.
