The Robber (German: Der Räuber) is a 2010 drama film directed by Benjamin Heisenberg.

[1] Johann (Andreas Lust) is a convicted felon and marathon runner who has been paroled from prison for attempted armed robbery.

Upon his release he immediately continues to commit bank robbery, armed with a shotgun and disguised with a mask.

He then moves in with a young social worker and friend, Erika (Franziska Weisz), and the two soon begin a relationship.

After being handed a confession to sign, Johann breaks out of jail through a window and leads the police on a cross country manhunt on foot.
