“Berlin Hero” (Germany, 2025, 112 min) is a comedy-drama by Wolfgang Becker and Achim von Borries, based on Maxim Leo’s novel “Der Held vom Bahnhof Friedrichstraße”. Micha owns a video store on the brink of bankruptcy until, on the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, a journalist presents him as the mastermind of the largest mass escape from the GDR.
