Todesspiel: Story, Cast and Series Facts
Todesspiel (1997): Series details, synopsis and season dates from TVmaze.
Story and premise
The dramatic weeks of the "German Autumn 1977", the RAF kidnapping of employer president Hanns Martin Schleyer and the hijacking of the Lufthansa plane "Landshut" by a Palestinian terrorist commando kept the republic in suspense almost 30 years ago. With archive footage, eyewitness interviews and staged game scenes, the two-part film "Todesspiel" by Heinrich Breloer recalls the events of those 45 days and was euphorically celebrated after it was first broadcast almost 10 years ago.
