Inglourious Basterds is a 2009 war film written and directed by Quentin Tarantino and starring Brad Pitt, Christoph Waltz, Eli Roth, Diane Kruger and Mélanie Laurent. The film tells the story of two plots to assassinate the Nazi Germany political leadership, one planned by a young French Jewish cinema proprietor (Laurent), and the other by a team of Jewish Allied soldiers led by Lieutenant Aldo Raine (Pitt).
The title of the film was inspired by the English title of director Enzo Castellari's 1978 war film,
The Inglorious Bastards. When asked for an explanation of the film's title spelling, Tarantino said, "I'm never going to explain that", during a news conference at the Cannes Film Festival. When pushed on it, Tarantino would not explain the first u in Inglourious, but said,
"The Basterds? That's just the way you say it: Basterds." Tarantino later stated in an interview that the misspelled title is "a Basquiat-esque touch." He further commented on Late Show with David Letterman that
Inglourious Basterds is the "Tarantino way of spelling it."
