The film depicts the rise of the dictator Schickel (played by Charlie Chaplin) in the Tomannia Kingdom during World War I. His aggressive expansion leads to constant warfare and suffering for the people. Additionally, he implements conspiracy policies, inciting hatred and hostility against the Jewish population, plunging them into catastrophe. Charlie, a Jewish barber (played by Charlie Chaplin), drafted into the army, finds it impossible to escape this oppressive regime. When Charlie escapes across the border, he is mistaken for the dictator Schickel by the troops stationed there and takes the opportunity to deliver a grand speech about "fighting for freedom." This film is Charlie Chaplin's first sound film, shot during the darkest days of Hitler's regime, and it is filled with sharp satire and vilification of him. The film was nominated for 5 Oscars at the 13th Academy Awards (1941), including Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Writing, and Best Music.
