Wikipedia article
'Vier gegen die Bank' is a 1976 German crime comedy television film directed by Wolfgang Petersen. It was adapted from the novel 'The Nixon Recession Caper' by Ralph Maloney and was produced for the German television station ARD. In 2016 it was remade under the same title for theatrical release.
Plot
Hartmut Wredel, a respected lawyer, is left unemployed by the recession. At his golf club he discovers that three other members have not paid their membership dues for a while. The men, out-of-work actor Peter Pagodi, fashion designer Benedict Hoffmann, and garage owner Gustav Blmel, have also been hit hard by the recession. Wredel convinces them that a bank robbery is the solution to their problems. They successfully carry out the plan and even escape imprisonment because the police blame the robbery on a separate group of terrorists who were also planning to rob the same bank.
