action

Max Bergusson waits and watches an Arab man visibly nervous at Milan-Malpensa airport and follows him into the city and back to the airport. Although Bergusson has a ticket for the flight to Hamburg, he books a ticket for the flight AE 612 via Athens to Beirut when he sees that the Arab is checking in for this flight. Bergusson tries to contact Chief Detective Trimmel and lets him know that he should wait for him at Hamburg Airport that evening .

Trimmel still knows Bergusson from a case a year ago. Bergusson's wife fell victim to a Palestinian bomb attack in Hamburg , but the suspect Femal Racadi had to be released for lack of evidence. Soon it can be determined that both Bergusson and Racadi are on board the AE 612.

Around this time Bergusson hijacked the plane and forced the pilots to turn around and fly to Hamburg instead of Athens. He wants to get Racadis arrested and convicted by Trimmel because he cannot come to terms with the results of the investigation.

With the help of a subordinate police officer, while looking through the old files and evidence , Trimmel finds out that the time fuse of the bomb had been tinkered with parts of a radio that was seized from the then girlfriend Racadis , which now clearly proves Racadi's perpetrator. Trimmel's assistant was able to arrest Racadi's former accomplice in a discotheque and later Racadi's former girlfriend in the apartment. The latter asserts that Racadi had no intention of killing anyone with the attack, but only wanted to draw attention to the situation of the Palestinians.

Meanwhile, Racadi notices on board that the machine has changed direction. He brings a stewardess into his power to force another change of course to the originally planned flight destinations. After negotiations, the captain managed to first fly to Hamburg, where all passengers should be released and then the machine with Racadi and the crew to Beirut.

Encouraged by a suggestion from Trimmel, Bergusson forces the pilots to land directly on the Elbe at MBB Airport Finkenwerder instead of Hamburg's Fuhlsbüttel Airport . Bergusson directs the machine as close as possible to the banks of the Elbe so that the machine cannot start again if possible.

After all passengers are released, Bergusson plans to shoot Racadi from the cockpit , but Racadi forces the rear door to open. After the pilot has opened the rear door against Bergusson's instructions, the latter is inattentive for a moment, and the copilot manages to overpower Bergusson and hand him over to the police.

Racadi flees with his hostage on a police boat . Air traffic controller Jürgens reports as a volunteer who is supposed to steer the boat . This is the hostage's friend. He succeeds in disarming Racadi. While the two men are fighting, a policeman jumps into the boat and together the two men overpower Racadi.

criticism

The critics of the television magazine TV Spielfilm give a humorous judgment: "Drama in the sky is a clear case for Trimmel."
