This story begins with a setting of abandonment and turmoil. A scene where food is found that has been stored for a very long time. Any sign of weatlh, like gold and jewels are not to be found. None of this is to say that Luther is a bad film, just a slightly disappointing one given the meaty subject matter. It's tremendously informative, for instance, if it is possible to judge movies by such a standard. We see all the major events of Luther's life—his vow to devote his life to God during a violent thunderstorm, his entry into the order of the Augustinian Hermits in Erfurt, his joining the faculty at Wittenberg University, his campaign against the Church's sale of indulgences (which supposedly assured a place in heaven for the purchaser, or a relative), the pressure on him to recant and his appearance before the Imperial Diet of Worms in 1521, his excommunication, and his translation into the German vernacular of the scriptures, which were previously inaccessible to common people by the Church's design.
