Triggered by the brutal realities of the Holocaust, Schindler's initial self-serving motives evolve as he witnesses the suffering around him, leading him to make a pivotal decision that will change the lives of many. The central conflict of the film revolves around Schindler's transformation from a profit-driven industrialist to a humanitarian who risks everything to save Jews from extermination.
