Locked away in an asylum for a decade and teetering between life and death, the criminal mastermind Dr. Mabuse (Rudolf Klein-Rogge) has scribbled his last will and testament: a manifesto establishing a future empire of crime. When the document's nefarious writings lead to terrifying parallels in reality, it's up to Berlin's star detective, Inspector Lohmann (Otto Wernicke, reprising his role in M), to connect the fragmented, maddening clues in a case unlike any other. Reuniting with the title character from his successful silent film, Dr. Mabuse, the Gambler, Fritz Lang's The Testament of Dr. Mabuse appropriates slogans and ideas from the newly ascendant Nazi party and puts them into the mouth of a madman, warning his audience of the horrible menace that was rapidly becoming a reality. A landmark of mystery and suspense for countless espionage and noir thrillers to come, Criterion is proud to present the complete, uncut original director's version in a stunning new high-definition transfer.

Dr. Mabuse (Rudolf Klein-Rogge) schreibt sein Testament. Obwohl der wahnsinnige Verbrecher mittlerweile in einer Nervenheilanstalt untergebracht ist, ist seine kriminelle Energie ungebrochen. Mittels telepathischer Fähigkeiten manipuliert er die Menschen in seiner Umgebung und sorgt selbst über seinen Tod hinaus für Angst und Chaos. Kommissar Lohmann (Otto Wernicke) steht vor einem Rätsel. Wer gibt die Anweisungen von Mabuse weiter? Kann er die geplante Errichtung einer „Herrschaft des Verbrechens“ noch stoppen? Fritz Lang legte mit DAS TESTAMENT DES DR. MABUSE den Grundstein für das heutige Genre der Crime- und Mystery-Filme. Der Film wurde von den Nationalsozialisten noch vor seiner Uraufführung 1933 verboten. Die Restaurierung des Films durch die Deutsche Kinemathek entstand in Vorbereitung der grossen Retrospektive der Filme Fritz Langs für die Internationalen Filmfestspiele Berlin im Jahr 2001.
