Dictator Adenoid Hynkel tries to expand his empire while a poor Jewish barber tries to avoid persecution from Hynkel's regime.
This biting satire transforms slapstick comedy into a razor-sharp weapon against rising fascism. The silent film icon breaks his own rules to deliver a blistering, spoken-word plea for human dignity.
