The Wave (15)
Sponsor: The Lincoln Academy.
 A high school teacher's unusual experiment to show his students what life is like under a dictatorship spins horribly out of control when the movement takes on a life of its own.
Germany today. During project week, high school teacher Rainer Wenger (Jürgen Vogel) comes up with an experiment in order to explain to his students how totalitarian governments work. A role-playing game with tragic results begins.
Within a few days, what began with harmless notions like discipline and community builds into a real movement: THE WAVE. By the third day, the students start ostracizing and threatening others.
When the conflict finally erupts into violence at an intramural water polo game, the teacher decides to break off the experiment. But it's too late. THE WAVE is out of control...
Morton Rhue's THE WAVE has been a classic youth novel for over 20 years, and is required reading material in many German schools. A work of fiction, but one based in fact: The original experiment was conducted by history teacher Ron Jones at Cubberley High School in Palo Alto, CA in 1967. Jones served as consultant to this film.
