Summary
Josef K., a bureaucratic office worker, is suddenly arrested one morning for an unspecified crime that authorities refuse to disclose. As he navigates a labyrinthine, nightmarish legal system, he encounters bizarre officials, manipulative lawyers, and accusers while struggling to defend himself against charges he cannot understand. Orson Welles's adaptation of Kafka's novel follows K.'s increasingly desperate attempts to assert his innocence in an absurd, oppressive world.
Released in 1962, The Trial is a drama, mystery and thriller film.
