The true story of an informant in the drug cartel. Lars Eidinger is the panther, constantly drifting through the German worlds under pressure. Jan Bonny has succeeded in making a sensational gangster flick in the same vein as ''Heat''. All of a sudden, the backdrop of Leverkusen seems to resemble the LA suburb.

Der Panther is one of four episodes in the anthology series  ''Zeit Verbrechen'', which is based on the podcast of the same name.
