Das Phantom (The Phantom) is a 2000 German thriller TV movie directed by Dennis Gansel.[1] It is based on the book Das RAF-Phantom[2] and stars Jürgen Vogel.

Plot[edit]

Policeman Leon Kramer (Vogel) and his partner Pit (Sözer) are observing two people in a car. When Leon goes to fetch some coffee, the two people in the car and Pit are killed. Suspicion is placed on Leon and, when his boss is also killed shortly thereafter, he becomes a fugitive. He learns that one of the two people he observed is an ex-Red Army Faction terrorist and the other is his former lawyer. A friend of the lawyer (Berricke) contacts Leon and gives him information about the RAF. The father of the dead terrorist also provides information. Leon learns that there may be a conspiracy among important people in the government using terrorist groups for their own purposes. Now they are after him.
