Germany in the 1970s: Murderous bomb attacks, the threat of terrorism and the fear of the enemy inside are rocking the very foundations of the still fragile German democracy. The radicalized children of the Nazi generation led by Andreas Baader (Moritz Bleibtreu), Ulrike Meinhof (Martina Gedeck) and Gudrun Ensslin (Johanna Wokalek) are fighting a violent war against what they perceive as the new face of fascism: American imperialism supported by the German establishment, many of whom have a Nazi past. Their aim is to create a more human society but by employing inhuman means they not only spread terror and bloodshed, they also lose their own humanity. The man who understands them is also their hunter: the head of the German police force Horst Herold (Bruno Ganz). And while he succeeds in his relentless pursuit of the young terrorists, he knows hes only dealing with the tip of the iceberg.

Producer and scriptwriter Bernd Eichinger (PERFUME - STORY OF A MURDERER, DOWNFALL) brings Stefan Austs standard work on RAF terrorism, THE BAADER MEINHOF COMPLEX to the big screen for Constantin Film. Director Uli Edel (LAST EXIT TO BROOKLYN, ZOO) presents the dramatic events that shook the democratic foundations of the Federal Republic of Germany from 1967 to the German Autumn of 1977.

  • Long the RAF!

    Wall street is already crumbling, fascist western imperialism is going to die

  • Excellent film, shit trailer. Sensationalist crap with lots of explosions.

    The film doesn't romanticise the RAF, it tries to explain them. It shows the political grudges that motivated them, their personal grudges when their comrades started to get shot or arrested, the reasoning behind the state's response (another great role by Bruno Ganz), their pointless ideological arguments. It shows them as people - some naive and idealistic, some genuinely angry, some just psychos.

    See it.

  • To all hate comments in the previous pages.Guys this is a fucked up world run by banks and markets and every idea of democracy is being raped every single day. You know why we haven't changed the fucking world?Because we are all divided.Religions ideologies, etc.We are being exploited and used for their imperialistic causes. Stop fighting with each other and change things out there.A revolution is needed but not with bombs and killing but with free thinking.Don't you guys want a better future

  • @Marshmallowmann verfluchtes internet, weiß man ja nie mit wem man spricht^^

  • @loosekarrott

    junge ich BIN deutscher xD

  • @Marshmallowmann in germany the movie was made fun of for it's lack of detail and depth.

  • @leroidelaprusse cool story bro. forgot to mention that both baader and ensslin took drugs.

  • @tHeWasTeDYouTh it was hateful, uneducated people like you who cornered the left of germany in such a manner that a secterian, militant fraction became inevitable.

  • @loosekarrott

    uhmm... no? what are you talking about? it's a shitty simplifying trailer. i give you that. but movie? it's very good for its length.

  • Nothing funnier than lazy wannabe commie thugs. Try Occupying adulthood tards.

  • whilst it can be daylight obvious, after i recently saw this film, it came to me with extreme clarity why had these revolts disappeared from the rich western world: the status quo subreptisciously flooded societies with DRUGS (i vow free narcosis myself though) and it was working more or less fine, until now... drug trade is way out of control and revolts once more frontally defie the status quo! I was a kid and realised nothing then, chances are i might see the real life sequel soon!
