Amoklauf is a German crime film by Wolfgang Huebner from 1988. The television film was released as the 120th episode in the film series Polizeiruf 110 .

action

Captain Peter Fuchs is investigating a traffic accident. A small car crashed into a truck on a bridge after a wheel came off. It turns out that the 14-year-old boy Markus Seifert and his older friend Jürgen Gruber have loosened the wheel nuts. They wanted to teach their unloved neighbor Huber a lesson, since the journalist had complained several times about the noise of Jürgen. Huber broke his leg and would need three months to convalescence .

Jürgen Gruber and his parents Hermann and Hilde take part in his grandfather's funeral on the afternoon of the day of the accident. Hermann's brother Siegfried and his wife Waltraud also appeared for the funeral service. The brothers don't understand each other because, unlike his brother, Siegfried did not take up the butcher's profession like his father, but studied. He works as an engineer, which Hermann repeatedly criticizes that his brother does not want to get his fingers dirty. During the funeral service, Hermann gets excessively drunk and begins to brag about his father's deeds during World War II . Most of the guests said goodbye, embarrassed. Brother Siegfried and his wife leave too. Hermann, who continued to drink with his son Jürgen, now wants to get behind the wheel and drive the family home. Hilde refuses to get into the car and starts running home. Hermann finally forces them to come along.

The tour turns out to be longer than expected. In the twilight, Hermann drives at excessive speed without lights and finally races past Peter Fuchs' car. When he tries to stop him, Hermann runs over a red light, whereupon Peter Fuchs initiates a manhunt. Hermann in turn gets lost in the city and swaps places with his son, who is also drunk. Jürgen only has a motorcycle license, but sits behind the wheel against his mother's wishes. The family wandering leads to more and more incidents and accidents. The masks fall in the car, and the always suppressed Hilde tells her son that his father is self-centered, always suppressed others, and that she would have divorced him long ago if it hadn't been him, Jürgen. Jürgen, and later Hermann again, break through police barriers and knock down police officers. In the end, Hermann tries to get home via detours, running into a cyclist who eventually dies on the way to the hospital. Hermann doesn't care about the target soon, he just wants to prove to the police that they can't get him. The rampage finally ends in a village. Hermann runs over a nail lock and the car comes to a stop in the village square. Hermann is asked to get out over the loudspeaker. It's Hilde who nervously escapes from the car at the end and is met by paramedics. Only Peter Fuchs gets Hermann to get out. He acts naively and claims that nothing happened and that no one died. Then Hermann and Jürgen are taken away.
