Une réévaluation du rôle joué par Albert Speer dans le Troisième Reich. Speer, qui a finalement été condamné aux procès de Nuremberg et a purgé une peine de 20 ans de prison, était connu pour avoir conçu de nombreux bâtiments du Troisième Reich et pour avoir été le ministre de la production de guerre d'Hitler.

VIRTUAL JFK investigates one of the most debated "what if" scenarios in the history of U.S. foreign policy: What would President John F. Kennedy have done in Vietnam if he had not been assassinated in 1963, and had he been re-elected in 1964? The film employs what Harvard historian Niall Ferguson calls "virtual history," assessing the plausibility of counterfactuals - "what ifs" - and the outcomes they might have produced. The heart of the film deals with the question: Does it matter who is president on issues of war and peace?
