Anton Hynkel ist Der Große Diktator von Tomanien. Gnadenlos und brutal unterdrückt er Juden und strebt nach immer mehr Macht. Doch er weiß nichts von seinem Doppelgänger. Ein jüdischer Friseur, der nach einem Flugzeugabsturz im ersten Weltkrieg sein Gedächtnis verloren hat, gleicht ihm bis ins kleinste Detail. Der Friseur ahnt nichts von der Judenverfolgung, weil er von dem Kommandeur Schultz dem er einst das Leben rettete, beschützt wird. Gemeinsam und mit dem Glück auf ihrer Seite sagen der Kommandeur und der Friseur dem Diktator den Kampf an.
French (Français)
Dans le ghetto juif vit un petit barbier qui ressemble énormément à Adenoid Hynkel, le dictateur de Tomania qui a décidé l'extermination du peuple juif. Au cours d'une rafle, le barbier est arrêté en compagnie de Schultz, un farouche adversaire d'Hynkel…
Italian (Italiano)
In Tomania il dittatore Adenoid Hynkel scatena la repressione contro gli ebrei. La bella Hannah e il suo innamorato, un barbiere straordinariamente somigliante a Hynkel, fuggono. Il barbiere, dapprima catturato, scappa dal lager e si imbatte per caso nel vero dittatore che viene arrestato in vece sua. Dai microfoni del führer il barbiere pronuncia al mondo un lungo messaggio di pace e speranza. Primo film interamente parlato di Chaplin, è una geniale satira antinazista realizzata quando le armate del Terzo Reich avevano ormai soggiogato l'intera Europa. Tra le sequenze da antologia, la danza di Hynkel con il mappamondo e i duetti con Napoloni/ Mussolini.
