action
On June 28, 1914, the Austro-Hungarian heir to the throne, Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Este, and his wife, Duchess Sophie Chotek von Chotkowa, drive through Sarajevo during the 525th anniversary of the Battle of the Blackbird Field. The first attack occurs . The Austrian investigating magistrate Leo Pfeffer was immediately assigned to investigate the attack. During the interrogation of the assassin, he learns that there has been a second attack in which the heir to the throne and his wife were fatally injured. The assassin Gavrilo Princip can be arrested. The small number of 36 gendarmes available to guard the route traveled by the heir to the throne, the repeated driving of the same route after the first attack and the accidental turning into an alley in which the assassin was standing, cast doubt on Pfeffer. A perpetrator's quick confession was obtained under torture, evidence disappears and witnesses fell silent. In the course of his investigation, Pfeffer encounters further inconsistencies, but is forced by his superiors to describe the assassination attempt as a Serbian intrigue, since the Austro-Hungarian politicians and military can hardly expect a military action against Serbia.

Reviews
"Depressing historical thriller."
"The ZDF / ORF co-production defies the assassination attempt in Sarajevo, the course of which and its consequences are well known, but still offers added value compared to a documentary on the subject."
“In“ The Assassination - Sarajevo 1914 ”the ZDF comes up with a strange declaration of war. The television film speculates too much about what is actually happening. "
“The ZDF film" Das Assentat - Sarajevo 1914 "is supposed to tell of the murder of the Austrian heir to the throne Franz Ferdinand - and gets lost in conspiracy theories. [...] It may be astonishing that the attack on Franz Ferdinand succeeded - it is almost as astonishing that a film about this dramatic event fails so badly. "
