Star Is Born combines the fire of Barbra Streisand and the magnetism of Kris Kristofferson in one of the screen's classic love stories. Set in the reckless world of big-time rock 'n' roll, this passionate and electrifying tale of talented young singer Esther Hoffman (Streisand) and superstar rocker John Norman Howard (Kristofferson) won five Golden Globe Awards, including Best Picture, Actress and Actor (Comedy or Musical). Paul Williams, Kenny Loggins, Leon Russell and others worked with Streisand on one of the most popular movie soundtracks ever.

On January 20, 1942, with the tide of war turning in favor of the Allies, a small group of SS officers, government ministers, and Nazi officials met near Berlin to decide the fate of Europe's Jews. Based on the only surviving record of that meeting, Conspiracy is a powerful combination of historical reconstruction and speculation that attempts to offer new insights into a pivotal moment in history. The cast does a marvelous job of fleshing out the documentary evidence to create convincing characters.
