Movie Description

WM 1994 – Elf Helden, ein Albtraum

(2026)

Overview

Germany went into the 1994 World Cup as favourites and defending champions, but were knocked out in the quarter-finals. Internal conflicts, media campaigns and malice directed at manager Berti Vogts had led to the supposed ‘eleven friends’ – players such as Lothar Matthäus, Jürgen Klinsmann, Stefan Effenberg, Bodo Illgner and Matthias Sammer – manoeuvring themselves into a collective nightmare within a matter of weeks. ‘Eleven Heroes, One Nightmare’ takes a look behind the scenes of what was a memorable World Cup tournament for Germany and shows how one of the strongest German teams of all time failed spectacularly.
