Angels of Iron Plot and Cast
Against the backdrop of social upheaval in 1948 and 1949 Berlin, the characters embody the best and worst of each political pole. Seventeen-year-old hoodlum Gladow works hand-in-glove with a local white-collar criminal, robbing and pillaging day and night while defying capture. As his gang of thugs terrorizes the people of Berlin, the Soviets strive to make the blockade of their controlled region impermeable. The future casts long shadows over the drama, as Berlin's problems take the shape of times to come.
