The Wave is a 2008 German film directed by Dennis Gansel, adapted from the 1967 California social experiment “The Third Wave.” The story follows teacher Rainer Wenger, who leads a week-long project on “autocracy.” When students insist such extremism could never happen again in modern society, Wenger decides to deconstruct dictatorship through a real-time classroom experiment.
As the tension escalates—metal springs snapping, a gun fired, shirts and jeans stained—Wenger is finally taken away in a police car amidst shocked gazes and sobs.
