The Captain from Köpenick is a 1956 West German movie directed by Helmut Käutner. After his release from prison, Wilhelm Voigt decides to finally lead an honest life. In a junk shop, he finds an old captain's uniform. In it, he gives a guard the order to follow him to Köpenick (Berlin) in the town hall, where he arrests the mayor and the city treasurer, to first get a passport in peace. The plan goes awry, instead, he seizes the city treasury and flees.
