The Counterfeiters is the true story of the biggest counterfeit money scam of all time. Over 130 million pounds sterling of fake currency was printed, under conditions that couldn't have been more tragic or spectacular.

The Counterfeiters tells the story of Salomon Sorowitsch – counterfeiter, bohemian and playboy. Salomon's philandering ways were brought to an abrupt end in Berlin, 1936, when he is caught red-handed working on his most ambitious forgery yet – the Dollar.

Then in the dying days of World War II, the Nazis hatch an audacious plan to save their failing war effort and sink the economies of their enemies.

The Counterfeiters has gone on to be one of the biggest independent movie releases of 2007, and opened to rave reviews by the national critics.

Speaking about the success of the film, Director Stefan Ruzowitzky said: "There've been some great Austrian film-makers working in America, most of them had to leave my country because of the Nazis. So it sort of makes sense that the first Austrian movie to win an Oscar is about the Nazis' crimes."

Out on DVD from the 17th March with all new exclusive special features, The Counterfeiters is one of the most exciting and compelling DVD releases of 2008.
