On a scorching August day in 1988, two men held up a bank in the town of Gladbeck in the Ruhr Area. As a result of police failures as well as the sensationalism of media which turned the incident into a widely watched event and the violent criminals into celebrities, the situation escalated into a three day long drama during which the robbers drove through several federal republics a killed three people. Based on meticulous research of countless contemporary documents, including television and newspaper coverage and police radio recordings, the gripping miniseries covers all aspects of the event.

A lot of solid, truthfully told pursuit of police officers with robbers across Western Germany in the 1980s. I enjoyed it. The Germans were typically precise and did not spare the facts, which are absurd in themselves. The only downside is perhaps a slightly exaggerated length for one pursuit, but to hell with it.
