Plot: Stasi agent Gerd Wiesler, a heart-felt supporter of the communist regime, is assigned to spy on playwright Georg Dreymann, who is suspected of Western leanings. He soon finds out that the real reason why Dreymann is being spied on is that a minister and member of the Party's Central Committee is attracted to Dreymann's girlfriend, actress Christa-Marie; if Dreymann is arrested he will have free rein. Dreymann is a supporter of the regime, but dislikes the way dissidents are treated. When an artist friend commits suicide because of his marginalisation, Dreymann publishes anonymously in West Germany an article on suicide rates in the GDR. Wiesler's empathy for the writer and his girlfriend having grown as time went on, he lies in his reports to protect Dreymann. When Christa-Marie is arrested for drug abuse, she turns Dreymann in, but Wiesler removes evidence from his apartment preventing him from being detained. Christa-Marie dies when she walks in front of a truck and the operation becomes pointless; hence Wiesler's chief officer, Anton Grubitz, calls it off and ensures the end of Wiesler's career: he is demoted to Department M, where he tediously opens letters all day. At the end of the film, after German reunification, Dreymann finds the truth while searching his process in Stasi's archives and releases a book dedicated to "HGW XX/7" (Wiesler's Stasi codename). He finds out the location of Wiesler and sees that he has meanwhile become a leaflet deliverer. But Dreymann turns away and doesn't talk to him. When Wiesler buys the book and the vender asks him if he should package it as a present, Wiesler responds: "No. It's for me."
