Passengers on a ship traveling from Mexico to Europe in the 1930's represent society at large in that era.

A tragic, horrifying, intense drama based on real life events, about 937 German Jewish refugees who left Nazi occupied Germany, to learn that nobody wanted them. This powerful film etches in rich detail, the story of the desperate lives of 937 Jewish Germans, offered a safe haven in Havana, Cuba. They depart Hamburg in high spirits looking forward to their new life. Some were concentration camp victims, some survivors of ‘the night of shattered crystal’, others just wanted to join relatives in Cuba. Some were wealthy enough to afford their voyage, but most left everything behind in the hope they could escape the Nazi terror. The passengers are unaware that the voyage is a sham, simply one of Josef Goebbels’ propaganda exercises. The ship will not be able to dock in Havana, and when the rest of the world turns the ship away, the Jews will have to return to Germany. On June 1, 1939, just as hope had all but vanished, the passengers receive word that Belgium, Holland, France and Britain agree to accept the passengers. Come what may, the passengers resolve not to return to Hamburg, or the camps.

Based on a true story, this film focuses on the plight of Jewish refugees who attempted to escape from Nazi Germany during WWII. They boarded an ocean liner bound for Cuba; however, Cuba's president denied them entry, and attempts to dock at other countries (including the U.S.) proved equally fruitless. The passengers were forced to return to Germany... and confront death.

All printed materials are destroyed and banned, and firemen start fires in this adaptation of author Ray Bradbury's cautionary near-future parable of an oppressive society in which free thought is verboten. Starring Oskar Werner as the conflicted, book-burning Montag and Julie Christie in a dual role, the sci-fi drama was the only English-language film to spring from the mind of French auteur François Truffaut.
