Josef K. wakes up in the morning and finds the police in his room. They tell him that he is on trial but nobody tells him what he is accused of. In order to find out about the reason of this accusation and to protest his innocence, he tries to look behind the facade of the judicial system. But since this remains fruitless, there seems to be no chance for him to escape from this Kafkaesque nightmare.

" First Viewing Viewing Date: March 11th Via: Google Play Plot: An unassuming office worker is arrested and stands trial, but he is never made aware of his charges. Rating: 8.3/10 Why Did I Watch It? It appeared on my radar when I saw it was released on 4K Blu-ray, and saw it included the talents of Orson Welles and Anthony Perkins. I was intrigued and wanted to watch it, especially with the high IMDb rating."
