The Baader Meinhof Complex (2008)

The 1970s, a turbulent era for Germany, is marked by lethal bombings, looming terrorism and an internal enemy threatening to shatter the delicate fabric of its budding democracy. The story unfolds as the rebellious offspring of the Nazi generation, led by the fiery trio of Andreas Baader, Ulrike Meinhof, and Gudrun Ensslin, wage a brutal war against what they perceive as the new avatar of fascism - a German establishment underpinned by American imperialism and marred by remnants of a Nazi past. Their noble vision to carve a more compassionate society is tragically tainted by the brutal means they employ. In their quest for justice, they not only induce terror and carnage but also forfeit their own humanity. Their relentless pursuer, Horst Herold, the head of the German police force, comprehends their motives but is acutely aware that he's merely grappling with the surface of an insidious iceberg. This raw and compelling narrative explores the paradox of fighting inhumanity with inhuman methods, set against the backdrop of a nation in turmoil.
