"High school teacher, Rainer Wegner, may be popular with the students, but he's also unorthodox. He's forced to teach autocracy for the school's project week. He's less than enthusiastic at first, but the response of the students is surprising to say the least. He forces the students to become more invested in the prospect of self rule, and soon the class project has its own power and eerily starts to resemble Germany's past. Can Wegner and his class realize what's happening before the horrors start repeating themselves?"
"A thought-provoking dramatization of an actual classroom experiment on individualism vs. conformity in which a high school teacher formed his own "Reich" (called "The Wave") to show why the German people could so willingly embrace Nazism."
"As a high school history class studies Germany during World War II, the teacher conducts an experiment that results in behavior resembling Nazism."@en
"Based on the experience of a high-school history class in April, 1967, in Palo Alto, Calif. Explores what happened when a teacher started a Nazi-like movement called The Wave in his history class to show the students the effects of such a movement."

"Prompted by a student's question, a high school teacher decides to embark on a social experiment. Presents the story of a history teacher who believes the best way to illustrate the mental atmosphere that allowed the German populace to deny blame for and the very Knowledge of - the genocide going on around them during the Nazi Reich, is to recreate that atmosphere for his students. Based on the real experience of a high school class in Palo Alto, Calif., in 1967."@en
"A reinactment of an actual drama dealing with discrimination and racial prejudice. It begins with a student's puzzling question; it becomes a seemingly innocuous social experiment and it culuminates in a devastating movement perilously out of control, carrying an entire school into a nightmare and to the brink of spiritual holocaust."@en
""[B]ased on a true incident that occured in a high school history class in Palo Alto, California, 1969. The powerful forces of group pressure that pervaded many historic movements such as Nazism are recreated in the classroom when history teacher Burt Ross introduces a "new" system to his students. Before long "The Wave," with its rules of "strength through discipline, community and action," sweeps from the classroom throughout the entire school. As most of the students join the movement, Laurie Saunders and David Collins recognize the frightening momentum of "The Wave" and realize they must stop it before it's too late."--Container."@en

"D'après une expérience réelle qui a pris place dans une école secondaire californienne. La vague relate l'expérience insolite instaurée par un professeur qui voulait montrer à ses élèves à quoi la vie ressemble sous une dictature. En quelques jours, ce qui n'était au départ qu'une expérience véhiculant des notions inoffensives comme la discipline et la communauté est devenu un vrai mouvement : La vague. À mesure que les limites des élèves sont repoussées, les choses prennent des proportions inattendues et les membres de ce nouveau culte décident d'appliquer leurs propres règles."

"Om het effect van de daden van de Nazi's in de Tweede Wereldoorlog duidelijk te maken, vormt een Amerikaanse geschiedenisleraar een beweging "De Golf". Deze beweging gaat het hele schoolleven beheersen en leidt tot een verbijsterende climax. Het verhaal heeft zich werkelijk afgespeeld in september 1967 op een middelbaar school in Palo Alto, Californië."

"Based on a real-life experiment that took place in a Californian high school, The Wave tells the story of a high school teacher's unusual class experiment. In an attempt to demonstrate what life is like under a dictatorship, the teacher comes up with an experiment to explain to his students how totalitarian governments work. A role-playing game with tragic results. Within a few days, what began with harmless notions like discipline and community builds into a real movement: The Wave. As the students boundaries are pushed, things begin to spiral out of control and this newly found cult starts to take on a life of its own."

Explores what happens when history teacher Ben Ross starts a classroon experiment, with the intention of showing students the processes behind social control in Nazi Germany. Things get out of hand and the power of group pressure becomes a frightening reality."
