Sturm is a television film from the crime series Tatort , which was first broadcast on April 17, 2017 on Erste , ORF 2 and SRF 1 . It is the 1019th episode in the crime scene series and the tenth case involving investigators Faber, Bönisch, Dalay and Kossik .
action
Shortly after four in the morning, two police officers were shot dead in their car while they were on a patrol in downtown Dortmund. Not far from the crime scene, Faber discovers a man in a bank who is holed up there and working at a computer terminal. It is the bank clerk Muhammad Hövermann who converted to Islam a few years ago. He's wearing an explosives belt and frantically making numerous transfers on his computer. Faber breaks a window and stays with Hövermann. When Günsay, the head of the SEK , has the buildings in the area evacuated, Faber refuses to leave the room and tries to get information out of Hövermann. He finds out that he does not wear the explosives belt voluntarily, but is blackmailed. Kossik seeks out Hövermann's Muslim wife and their daughter Ada and discovers that they are obviously under the control of Islamist terrorists who have a remote detonator for the explosives belt. He withdraws to observation so as not to let the situation escalate.
Dalay picks up Bernie, Hövermann's son from his first marriage, who deals in computers and hates his father. Faber lets Bernie speak to his father to get him to give up, but to no avail. Mikey, a hacker hired by the police , finds out that Hövermann's transfers amounting to approx. 18 million euros are distributed to various bank accounts in the Arab world . Bönisch instructs him to unobtrusively transfer the money back.
Bönisch can arrest one of those involved in the murder of the police in a mosque. Meanwhile, Kossik follows Pascal Tauber, the second of the violent criminals, who fled to an old campsite with Hövermann's stepdaughter as a hostage. When Kossik tries to free the young woman, Tahir Erdem appears, the third perpetrator who also shot the patrolmen. He shoots Kossik and leaves him critically injured, where he is later found by a police force.
Faber persuades Hövermann to have his explosives belt removed from him by a specialist. This turns out to be a dummy. Mikey has since reversed the transfers and found out that Hövermann's son Bernie should be the beneficiary of the transfers - together with an accomplice, he had hired the three terrorists on the Darknet to attack and blackmail the Hövermann family in order to get revenge on his father and at the same time to renovate his ailing company.
Just as Bernie is about to be arrested, Erdem and Tauber drive up to the scene, with Ada Hövermann in their power. Erdem wants to race into the group of policemen, but they stop the vehicle by shooting. Still, Erdem manages to detonate a car bomb that blows up all three of them. Faber, Bönisch, Dalay and others are injured.
background
The crime scene Sturm was filmed from April 12, 2016 to May 12, 2016 in Cologne and Dortmund. From May 8, 2016, filming took place for several days in the building of the Cologne Central Library in Josef-Haubrich-Hof. The film set for the private bank's office was set up here in the language area of the central library. The "former Ruhrblick campsite in Geisecke", to which the suspect kidnapped his victim, does not exist, however, but was set up especially for the film shoot.
The events are told almost in real time: the action starts shortly after four in the morning and ends about three and a half hours later.
The first broadcast was supposed to take place on New Year 2017, but the film was taken out of the program after the attack on the Berlin Christmas market at the Gedächtniskirche , because parallels to the attack in Berlin were seen in the fictitious bomb attack in Dortmund shown in the film. The transmission slot was exchanged with the police call 110, scheduled for Easter Monday : Fear sanctifies the means . Although the attack on the Borussia Dortmund team bus actually resulted in an explosive attack in Dortmund less than a week before the new broadcast date, the station stuck to the program planning. The WDR justified this with the fact that the crime scene “cannot constantly evade reality due to its current content orientation”.
The film is the last case with Stefan Konarske as Chief Commissioner Kossik.

Reviews
According to the TV feature film , the film is "a terrorism thriller that is told almost in real time, is captivating to the end and does not make any compromises - a heavy blow in the pit of the stomach".
“After the over-complex Dortmund 'Tatort' masterpiece from November 2016, there is now an under-complex one. The screenwriters Sönke Lars Neuwöhner and Martin Eigler have developed an elegant parallel plot in which 'storm' means on the one hand the use of the SEK, but on the other hand also the jihadist terror. But unfortunately the characters all maintain that the social interaction does not get any dynamics despite the blatant dialogues. The phone is constantly being used, but the source of the religious furor remains vague. No god under this number. "
“Above all, however, this crime scene is not an explanatory piece, there is no enlightenment impetus, there is only an exciting, in the end somewhat constructed, but therefore also surprising narrative. […] Jörg Hartmann has been showing for a long time in a crime scene that he is a fantastic actor. "
