action

The tunnel gangsters receive a plan for the sewer system that leads to a bank from a stranger who calls himself a professor. The gangsters rent a garage next to the bank and - undetected by the outside world - dig a tunnel from the garage to the bank. On June 27, 1995, the gangsters attacked the bank and took 16 hostages, including the bank employee Tina and the police inspector Kiel, who covertly tried to contact the police. The bank robbers try to distract the police from their original plan by demanding ransom and also threaten to shoot the hostages. In the meantime, they blow up the lockers and flee through the tunnel with money, gold, diamonds and securities. Around midnight, the police, led by Inspector Kottke, stormed the bank; she will be to late.
