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 prepare to leave the city when they learn that Britain and France have declared war on Germany. Relieved at the news, Szpilman stays in Warsaw with his family.
