action

After the pilot Christian Beck has landed in Frankfurt, he wants to have fun with the attractive stewardess Anita Brückner in the hotel. While she goes into the bathroom for a moment, there is a knock on the door and when Beck opens it, he is shot without warning. Inspector Brinkmann is investigating the case and, first of all, interviewing a witness who had seen a man run away. The description fits Günter Marbach, Anita's ex-boyfriend. Marbach denies the act and Anita cannot imagine that he would be capable of murder. In order to prove his innocence, Marbach tries to find a trace of the murderer himself and comes across an Italian named Bernotti. This had wanted to meet with Beck. When Marbach Brinkmann reports about it, he speaks to Bernotti, but since there is no concrete evidence against him, he cannot do anything further. Marbach is thus still on his own and is now threatened by Bernotti and his clan. They found out that he had given the police the tip and want revenge because they suspect that Marbach Bernotti wanted to blame the crime.

In the meantime, Anita Brückner has also been pushed from the balcony by a stranger. After Marbach shows up in her hotel room shortly after the murder, he is therefore suspected of killing her too. To prevent the police from arresting him, he fled. The police stayed on his heels and followed him to Munich. There Marbach manages to get into the city center, where he visits Beck's widow. He realizes that she has to do with the murders he is supposed to be suspected of. While he is putting the woman under pressure, Löbel, a business partner of Doris Beck, suddenly appears. He leaves no doubt that he killed both Beck and Anita and arranged everything so skillfully that Marbach had to be taken for the perpetrator. He had always made hope in Doris Beck and the business too. However, since she came to terms with her husband's love affairs and did not seriously intend to part with him, he simply got him out of the way. Since he felt recognized by Anita, she too had to die.

When Doris Beck heard this involuntary confession, she was outraged and a scuffle broke out. Löbel is shot, whereupon Marbach calls the police.

Reviews

Tilmann P. Gangloff from tittelbach.tv writes: “Even the dynamic Uwe Ochsenknecht does not manage to save 'blind flight', this sometimes very leisurely 'crime scene' from 1987. The Hitchcock story is quite interesting. ”The critic continues:“ It may be a quality feature if the dynamics are not created by the image design (Werner Hoffmann), but by the actions in front of the camera. […] Apart from that, the staging of the day before yesterday is almost provocatively serene, and the smug epilogue looks as if Hoffman later wanted - or had to - restore confidence in the executive. What is remarkable, however, is the stylistic diversity of the music. Ralf Zang uses a few unnecessary exclamation marks in the style of the Edgar Wallace films, but apart from that, the soundtrack with its mixture of rock, jazz and electro sounds seems much more modern than the camera work. "

The TV feature film television newspaper says: "Good start, smooth flight, perfect landing."
