Made during the 2nd Generation of the violent left-wing West German group, Red Army Faction, the film speculates on what lay behind increased security and domestic terrorism in Germany. The first third of the movie plays as a comedy of the inside shenanigans of how such a group would behave. The movie's tone turns grim and critical when the group playfully kills a low-level banker in a robbery. Especially controversial was the fictional film's showing cooperation between German terrorists and industrialists.
