When a high school teacher struggles to explain to his pupils why an intelligent people like the Germans would allow a brutal orgnaization like the Nazi Party to assume power over them, he devises a radical new approach to teaching the subject, which unleashes powerful social and psychological forces that quickly begin to go out of control. Famed as the best of the Afterschool specials, it is as provocative and controversial now as it was when it was first aired. A must-see teleplay.

April 3, 1967: The Third Wave Experiment begins, an experimental social movement created by California high school history teacher Ron Jones in 1967 to explain how the German population could accept the actions of the Nazi regime during the Second World War. While he taught his students about Nazi Germany during his "Contemporary World History" class, Jones found it difficult to explain how the German people could accept the actions of the Nazis, and decided to create a social movement as a demonstration of the appeal of fascism. Over the course of five days, Jones - a member of the SDS, Cubberley United Student Movement sponsor and Black Panthers supporter - conducted a series of exercises in his classroom emphasizing discipline and community, intended to model certain characteristics of the Nazi movement. As the movement grew outside his class and began to number in the hundreds, Jones began to feel that the movement had spiraled out of control. He convinced the students to attend a rally where he claimed that the classroom project was part of a nationwide movement, and that the announcement of a Third Wave presidential candidate would be televised. Upon their arrival, the students were presented with a blank channel. Jones told his students of the true nature of the movement as an experiment in fascism, and presented to them a short film discussing the actions of Nazi Germany. The events of the experiment were adapted into a 1981 US TV special, The Wave. This formed the basis for the Young Adult novelization of the same name by Todd Strasser, who conducted the story of the Third Wave into a modern time period, who used the pen name Morton Rhue in Europe.
