Synopsis

1945 post-World War II Berlin, Germany

US Army correspondent Jake Geismar (George Clooney) is in Berlin to cover the Postdam Peace Conference where the allies are determining Germany's future after its defeat. Chauffeured around by Corporal Tully (Tobey McGuire) he learns that Tully's an opportunist and actively participating in the thriving black market there. Not only that but Tully's girlfriend, Lena Brandt (Cate Blanchett), used to be his former love.

When Tully goes missing, Jake finds himself drawn further and further into a web of intrigue as both the American and Russian armies are searching for Tully. When Jake winds up with a bullet in his back all lines of investigation lead Jake back to Lena, but trying to establish the truth in this secretive city, just liberated from the horrors of war, is an almost impossible task...

Based on the novel by Joseph Kanon, THE GOOD GERMAN is directed by Steven Soderbergh.
