Führer Ex is a German neo-nazi drama film directed by Winfried Bonengel and based on the autobiographical book Die Abrechnung by Ingo Hasselbach.

[1] Hacky friends Heiko and Tommy dream of escaping from communist Berlin that has become disgusting to them.

In contrast to the sluggish and closed Heiko, the experienced and courageous Tommy is already familiar with the harsh orders of the model prisons of the GDR, where neo-Nazi groups are in charge.

They were destined to see each other only four years later, in Berlin, where Heiko, who became a staunch Nazi, commanded a team of skinheads who had left the underground after the fall of the Wall.

He achieves a directness that otherwise only B-films allow [...] 'Lack of differentiation', 'showmanship', 'one-dimensional characters', 'simplified schemata of cause and effect' — such and similar phrases are the two [Winfried Bonengel and Ingo Hasselbach] have heard so often, until the nausea made further conversations impossible [...] But it could be that Bonengel and Hasselbach, after years of dealing with right-wing youths, simply had no desire, a film for critics and television editors close.
