German actor Ulrich Tukur (The Lives of Others) portrays Rabe, a Nazi party member and Siemens executive who was able to create a safety zone within the city to protect civilians from Japanese atrocities, which claimed the lives of an estimated 300,000 civilians. Buscemi plays real-life American Dr Robert Wilson, who remained in Nanjing during the occupation to care for legions of victims.
