Fact And Fiction

Amsterdam is based on the Business Plot of 1933, a little-known story from American history that tells of a political conspiracy to replace President Franklin D Roosevelt after the elimination of the gold standard. While the film is inspired by this anecdote, much of it is also fictional, making it an interesting mix of fact and fabrication.

Unpredictable And Fascinating Plot

With its blend of comedy and action, Amsterdam employs a light-hearted approach to the murder mystery at its centre. It leads you on an intoxicating ride through the various nuances of its plot, which makes it a real joy to watch.
