Frequently Asked Questions

What is The Baader Meinhof Complex about? Toggle content

The Baader Meinhof Complex tells the story of the Red Army Faction (RAF), a left-wing terrorist group that emerged in Germany in the 1970s. The group, led by Andreas Baader, Ulrike Meinhof, and Gudrun Ensslin, sought to overthrow the government and create a more human society through violent means. The film follows the group's rise and fall, as they carry out a series of bombings, assassinations, and kidnappings, while being pursued by the authorities, led by police chief Horst Herold. The movie explores the motivations and consequences of their actions, and the impact they had on German society. It is based on the book "Der Baader Meinhof Komplex" by Stefan Aust, who also served as a consultant on the film.
