English Summary:

Downfall (German: Der Untergang) is a 2004 historical war drama film directed by Oliver Hirschbiegel from a screenplay by producer Bernd Eichinger. The film depicts the final ten days of Adolf Hitler, portrayed by Bruno Ganz, and the subsequent surrender of Berlin to the Soviet Army. It was based on the books Inside Hitler's Bunker by historian Joachim Fest and Until the Final Hour by Hitler's former private secretary Traudl Junge. It also used several other accounts of the period.

Principal photography took place in Berlin, Munich, and in Saint Petersburg, Russia, with a €13.5 million production budget. As the film is set in and around the Führerbunker, Hirschbiegel used eyewitness accounts, survivors' memoirs, and other historical sources during production to reconstruct the look and atmosphere of 1940s Berlin. Der Untergang premiered in Germany in September 16, 2004. It started a debate in German film magazines and newspapers; the tabloid Bild initially asked, "Are we allowed to show the monster as a human being?". It later received a wide release in theaters across Europe under its production company Constantin Film.

The film grossed over $92 million and received an Oscar nomination for Best Foreign Language Film at the 77th Academy Awards. It was also ranked number 48 in Empire magazine's "The 100 Best Films Of World Cinema" in 2010. The scenes where Hitler becomes angry after Steiner fails to obey his orders have been heavily parodied in internet culture; it is used in videos described as "Hitler Rants" where English subtitles are placed to humorously portray him reacting to an absurd or relatable issue instead.
