Knockin' on Heaven's Door is a 1997 German crime tragicomedy film by Thomas Jahn, starring Til Schweiger, Moritz Bleibtreu, Jan Josef Liefers and Rutger Hauer.

It was entered into the 20th Moscow International Film Festival where Til Schweiger won the Silver St. George for Best Actor.

Two patients (Martin Brest and Rudi Wurlitzer) meet in a hospital, just after learning that both have untreatable diseases with short life expectancies.

Drunk and still in their pajamas, they steal a baby blue Mercedes-Benz W113 classic roadster and embark on their last mission - to see the sea.

Eventually, the two find themselves trapped on a remote country road blocked by police units on one side and gangsters on the other, pointing their guns at each other.

Enraged, the boss points a gun at them ready to shoot, but Curtiz, the top-dog criminal to whom the money was meant to be delivered, joins the scene.
