Gladbeck
On August 16, 1988, Dieter Degowski (Alexander Scheer ) and Hans-Jürgen Rösner (Sascha A. Geršak ) rob a bank. With Rösner's girlfriend Marion Löblich (Marie Rosa Tietjen) now an accomplice, they hijack a bus a short time later in Bremen. Afterwards, a hostage situation develops that will keep the whole of Germany on tenterhooks for three days because this is the first time that the public has witnessed such a crime up-close. Television and radio reporters are on the scene and transgress moral boundaries in their hunt for live, up-close coverage and the best pictures. They are right there with the perpetrators and their hostages, even talking to them. The criminals become media stars. Meanwhile, it becomes increasingly difficult for the police to coordinate further action. In their attempt to stop the hostage-takers, the authorities make more and more wrong decisions.
