'''''Jacob the Liar''''' is a 1974 East German movie directed by Frank Beyer and is based on the novel of the same name by Jurek Beckers. 1944: Jakob Heym, living in a Polish ghetto, hears by chance on the radio about the advance of the Red Army, but he cannot spread this news so easily. In order to give hope to his fellow sufferers, he pretends that he has a hidden radio and gives the ghetto inhabitants courage to face life with ever new lies.

The role of Jakob was initially to be played by the well-known West German actor [[Heinz Rühmann]]. However, this casting decision was ultimately rejected by Erich Honecker himself on the grounds that it would be a violation of the principle of two fundamentally different German states if Heinz Rühmann played the part. In Rühmann's place, the role was taken by the well-known Czech actor Vlastimil Brodský (voiced by Norbert Christia), who had already been considered by Frank Beyer for the failed 1966 production. It was the only East German film to be nominated for an Academy Award for Best International Feature Film.

An American remake was released in [[Jacob the liar|1999]] directed by Peter Kassovitz in starring [[Robin Williams]], [[Bob Balaban]], [[Liev Schreiber]], and [[Armin Mueller-Stahl]].
