Schindler starts a company to make cookware and utensils. He uses
flattery and bribes to win military contracts, and brings in accountant
and financier Itzhak Stern to help run the factory. By staffing
his plant with Jews, Schindler has a dependable unpaid labor force.
For Stern, a job in a war-related plant could mean survival for
himself and the other Jews working for Schindler. However, in 1942,
all of Krakow's Jews are assigned to the Plaszow Forced Labor Camp,
overseen by Commandant Amon Goeth, an embittered alcoholic who
occasionally shoots prisoners from his balcony. Schindler arranges
to continue using Polish Jews in his plant, but, as he sees what
is happening to his employees, he begins to develop a conscience.
He realizes that his factory is the only thing preventing his staff
from being shipped to the death camps.

| Shakespeare
In Love |

Written
by Marc Norman & Tom Stoppard.
Produced by Bedford Falls
William Shakespeare is on a cold streak. Not only is he writing for Philip
Henslowe, owner of "The Rose," a theatre whose doors are about
to be closed by sadistic creditors, but he's got a nasty case of writer's
block. Shakespeare hasn't written a hit in years. In fact, he hasn't
written much of anything recently. Thus, the Bard finds himself in quite
a bind when Henslowe, desperate to stave off another round of hot-coals-to-feet
application, stakes The Rose's solvency on Shakespeare's new comedy, "Romeo
and Ethel, the Pirate's Daughter." The problem is, "Romeo" is
safely "locked away" in Shakespeare's head, which is to say
that not a word of it is written.

In
this tense tale of psychological terror, Dr. Malcolm Crowe is a
child psychologist whose new patient has a problem far outside
his usual area of expertise. Cole Sear is six-years-old and claims
to see the spirits of dead people all around him. It seems that
Cole has psychic powers and can channel the ghosts of those who
were troubled. Cole doesn't understand his powers, and he has little
control over them; he's constantly terrified by what he sees, and
Dr. Crowe is the only one with whom he feels he can share this
secret. However, as the doctor digs deeper into Cole's strange
powers, it leads to strange and unexpected consequences for both
of them.

A group
of five renegade computer hackers, led by Martin Bishop, are hired
by the government to steal a black box, containing a code-breaking
machine, from the mathematician who invented the device. The government
is able to persuade Martin to take the job by convincing him that
they will drop a decades-old federal warrant for his involvement
in computer fraud. Martin agrees and he takes his team on the mission,
eventually taking the box. Shortly after the hackers have stolen
the device, the mathematician turns up dead and Martin is framed
for the murder, which means that he and his team have to discover
the truth about the mission and the death.
