Plot [edit]
The film begins in Berlin, 2014. Adolf Hitler wakes up in the park where his former wartime bunker once stood. As he wanders, disoriented, through the urban center, he interprets modern situations and things from a wartime perspective.[iii] [5] [7] [10] Everyone he meets assumes he is an thespian impersonating Hitler. Attempting to inquire directions to the Reich Chancellery, Hitler is told by a mime to detect his own spot and pepper-sprayed by a terrified young mother. Arriving at a newspaper kiosk and reading that it is 2014, he becomes dizzy and faints.
Meanwhile, moviemaker Fabian Sawatzki is fired from the telly station MyTV and despondently watches the documentary he had been filming in the park where Hitler awoke. Seeing Hitler in the background, Sawatzki begins searching for him in hopes of getting his task dorsum.
Waking at the kiosk, Hitler begins to read nigh modern Germany. Through the newspapers he discovers a completely different nation from the i he left and non one amusing to him. Lamenting that Poland withal exists on formerly German soil, Hitler says the whole war was a waste. He decides that destiny has resurrected him for a reason and vows to continue his work.
Later finding the kiosk, Sawatzki proposes to travel across Germany with Hitler and film him for YouTube. Hitler agrees, and the two go out together. Travelling from the North Bounding main Coast to Bavaria, Sawatzki films Hitler interacting with ordinary Germans and promising to solve their bug with immigrants and guest-workers. When a Bavarian tells Hitler that he will never follow him, Hitler demands his name and address, saying that it's for "the get-go wave of arrests". The Bavarian responds that he isn't worried.
Sawatzki's idea for an animal-centred motion picture clip ends when Hitler shoots a domestic dog with a concealed FN Model 1910 pistol. Sawatzki is outraged, but Hitler calls him a weakling and vows to make a man out of him. While their videos gain over a million hits, Sawatzki and Hitler render to Berlin. Sawatzki introduces both Hitler and his plan idea to the MyTV station chiefs. The new MyTV chairman, Katja Bellini, decides to utilise Hitler in 1 of MyTV'southward comedies.
Before the show, Hitler learns about the Net and uses the Web to prepare his return to politics. On air, Hitler presents his erstwhile plans for an ethnically homogeneous fascist state, and unintentionally becomes a big comedy hit. Every bit his success in comedy increases, Christoph Sensenbrink, one of MyTV'due south executives, discovers the unedited footage of Hitler shooting the dog. Sensenbrink broadcasts the footage, ruining the burgeoning careers of Hitler, Sawatzki, and Bellini, and resulting in his own promotion to station chief.
With the help of Bellini and Sawatzki, Hitler publishes an autobiographical book about his new life in the 21st century, Er Ist Wieder Da ("Look Who'south Dorsum"), and information technology becomes a bestseller. Soon later, Sawatzki turns the book into a film. Without Hitler, MyTV'due south ratings and advertisement revenue driblet precipitously and Sensenbrink, after a fit of rage (parodying Hitler's breakdown scene in the German drama pic Downfall), decides he must rehire Hitler.
Hitler plays himself in the flick. Afterward a dark of filming, he is beaten by ii Neo-Nazis who believe him to be a fraudulent impersonator mocking their beliefs. Hitler is hospitalized, but the news of his beating generates sympathy and he returns to high standing with the German people. While Hitler is recuperating, Sawatzki reviews his sometime footage and discovers a ball of free energy (based on The Terminator) in the background before Hitler first appeared. Returning to the site, he finds burnt leaves. With horror, he realizes that the Hitler he encountered was the existent person all along. He rushes to the hospital to face Hitler, but finds simply Katja, who says Hitler is at the movie studio. Katja doesn't empathize Sawatzki when he says Hitler is real and he trashes the hospital room before running for the exit pursued by 2 hospital orderlies.
Sawatzki arrives at the moving picture studio, where he forces Hitler to the roof at gunpoint with his ain pistol. Calmly, Hitler replies that he was elected by the German people, and if he is a monster, then so is everyone who voted for him. Enraged, Sawatzki shoots Hitler in the confront and watches him fall off the roof to his apparent decease. Suddenly Hitler reappears backside Sawatzki, challenge he cannot exist killed, every bit he is a part of every German. This entire scene is revealed to be a part of the film, and Sawatzki is a torso double wearing a silicone mask. The real Sawatzki has been committed to a mental hospital following his previous outburst that Hitler yet lives.
Once the work for his moving-picture show finishes, Hitler senses that he is on the path to a political comeback. He is more popular than e'er, and nationalist Germans give him hope that Germany may exist ready for his return to power. With Hitler and Bellini riding in the back seat of an open Mercedes-Benz W111 convertible, and among images of bodily nationalist demonstrations, the moving picture ends with Hitler'south phonation-over: "I can work with this".
