Munich – The Edge of War is a 2021 period spy thriller film directed by Christian Schwochow, from a screenplay by Ben Power.

Six years later, Legat is on secondment from the British Foreign Office; working as Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain's private secretary.

Chamberlain strives to obtain peace with Adolf Hitler at any cost, even if that means allowing Germany to seize control of the Sudetenland from Czechoslovakia.

Meanwhile, Hartmann is working as a translator in the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Berlin while secretly plotting with a Wehrmacht general in an effort to overthrow Hitler if top army officials agree to arrest him and seize control.

Legat and Hartmann meet with Chamberlain, who scoffs at the idea of not signing based on vague German military plans for a coup d'état and refuses to take action.

Hartmann takes Legat to a local nursing home to see Lena, revealing that in 1935 she was arrested at an anti-Nazi rally and sent to a concentration camp, only to have a Star of David carved in her back and be thrown out of a window after she was found to be Jewish, resulting in paralysis and an inability to speak.

Although the main characters are fictionalized for plot development, the author and film[10] have given Chamberlain a more sympathetic role in the build-up to World War II.

Often deemed a coward for his "appeasement" of Hitler, some modern historians have taken the view that the Munich Conference was a stalling tactic to allow Britain to prepare for an inevitable war with Nazi Germany.

In the worst case, the letter of agreement would give Britain time to consolidate allies, rearm the military and perhaps get the United States involved.

The website's consensus reads: "Sharp direction and some outstanding performances make Munich: The Edge of War a gripping historical drama, even though the ending's no secret.
