In September 1939, Polish-Jewish pianist Władysław Szpilman plays live on the radio in Warsaw when the station is bombed during a Nazi German air raid against Warsaw.
Szpilman and his family sell their belongings, including his grand piano, in order to survive.
Szpilman witnesses a young boy savagely beaten by a guard and left for dead while attempting to escape the ghetto.
