O Grande Ditador
15/10/1940
Em Novembro de 1918 no meio de um exército derrotado um soldado, que em tempo de paz era proprietário de uma barbearia, perde a memória e vai parar a um asilo. Entretanto, o Mundo evolui de convulsão em convulsão até que surge um "providencial" ditador, Adenoid Hynkel, que podia ser irmão gémeo do barbeiro. Este sai do asilo e regressa à sua barbearia, envolvendo-se, desde logo, num confronto com os arruaceiros de Hynkel. O ditador prepara a invasão de Osterlich, um país vizinho, e tenta arranjar um empréstimo junto de banqueiros judeus. Perante a recusa destes Hynkel reprime violentamente a comunidade judaica e o barbeiro vai parar a um campo de concentração. Hynkel invade Osterlich, depois de resolver as divergências com outro ditador interessado na mesma invasão, enquanto o barbeiro foge do campo de concentração. Devido às suas semelhanças com o ditador o barbeiro acaba por ser tomado por Hynkel e faz um discurso memorável denunciando a tirania.
