Trama
Der Baader Meinhof Komplex follows the radical left-wing group known as the Red Army Faction (RAF), active in West Germany from 1970 to 1998. The film focuses on the group's leader, Andreas Baader (portrayed by Moritz Bleibtreu), and his girlfriend, Gudrun Ensslin (played by Johanna Wokalek). The narrative begins with their involvement in various acts of protest and arson against the German political establishment, which escalates into a series of bank robberies and violent attacks. The film chronicles their trial at the Stammheim prison, where they are found guilty and sentenced to life imprisonment in 1977. The story culminates with the 'Stammheim massacre' on October 18, 1977, when Ensslin, Baader, and fellow RAF member Jan-Carl Raspe commit suicide within hours of each other.
