LOG LINE - SHORT VERSION

During World War 2, in Auschwitz, Jewish men were forced to box on Saturday night for Nazi Entertainment… The winner got extra food, the loser went to the gas chambers.

Based on a true story, SAMSON centers on SAMSON ABRAMS, a Jewish Olympian (a boxer in the 1936 Olympics), DR. JOSEF MENGELE, the Nazi doctor responsible for some of the worst atrocities of the 20th Century, COMM. RUDOLF HESS who ran Auschwitz during the peak of the Holocaust, and MAX KOLBE, a Catholic Monk sent to Auschwitz for helping Jewish people escape the Nazis.
