Le scénario s'inspire de faits authentiques qui se sont déroulées pendant la Deuxième Guerre mondiale en Italie. Ici, ce sont les aventures d'un groupe de résistants italiens originaires de Gênes et dirigé par le commandant Vento qui sont évoquées. Ceux-ci doivent s'emparer d'une cargaison d'armes destinées à l'occupant allemand. Aidés par un comité d'ouvriers en grève menés par Marco, ceux-ci parviennent à leurs fins, après plusieurs péripéties pleines de tension. Les chasseurs alpins italiens, un moment hésitant, et placés devant un dilemme crucial, choisissent eux aussi d'entrer en résistance.

En octobre 1943, le commandement allemand de la place de Rome ordonne que la communauté juive de la ville lui livre, dans un délai de vingt-quatre heures, cinquante kilos d'or : faute de quoi deux cents otages seront fusillés. La collecte des bijoux s'effectue, sans éviter de provoquer des remous dans la communauté juive. Bien qu'à la fin, la rançon soit effectivement livrée, l'autorité militaire ne tient nullement ses promesses. Une rafle est organisée autour du Portico d'Ottavia, dans laquelle deux mille juifs seront capturés et dirigés vers les camps d'extermination nazis. Le film conte, en parallèle, une intrigue amoureuse entre Giulia, fille d'un professeur juif, et Massimo, étudiant de confession catholique. Giulia n'ignore pas qu'un mariage pourrait lui éviter la déportation et lui sauver la vie.

Thirteen-year-old Edmund Kohler lives in devastated, post-World War II Berlin with his ailing, bedridden father and his adult siblings, Eva and Karl-Heinz. Eva manages to obtain cigarettes by going out with soldiers of the Allied forces, but she resists her friends' advice to prostitute herself. Karl-Heinz is the older son who fought in the war and is a burden to the struggling family, refusing to register with the police and get a ration card because he is afraid of what would happen if they found out he fought to the bitter end. The Kohlers and others have been assigned to the apartment home of the Rademachers by the housing authority, much to Mr. Rademacher's irritation.

In 1945, Benito Mussolini goes to Milan to talk with Archbishop Alfredo Ildefonso Schuster in order that he help him to escape from Italy. The Republic of Salò, the last bastion of fascism, is decaying, and the Americans, along with the partisans are about to win over Milan. Mussolini flees, pursued by his lover Claretta Petacci, and manages to get to the northern village of Dongo. There he clashes with the Germans, who order him to disguise himself as an officer of Germany rather than be captured by the partisans. Mussolini accepts without objection, always hoping for a revolt of his loyal fascists, but they are in jeopardy. When Mussolini's recognized, the leader of the partisans: Walter Audisio would like to first give him to the Americans, so that Mussolini is regularly processed. But the war crimes of the Duce are too many, and so Audisio finally decides to shoot him in front of the Villa Belmone in the village of Giulino, with his female companion.
