A married self-employed carpenter on the verge of ruin raids the bank that did not extend his credit.

After the closure of his carpentry business, Klaus Roth is also threatened with private insolvency. He sees only one chance to get money from the local bank: a robbery of the money transporter. But the armed action together with the former Afghanistan soldier Achim Buchert goes wrong. With five bank employees as hostages, they holed up in the branch while the police lined up outside. In the short term it looks as if the local police chief can end the situation peacefully. Klaus Roth is already toying with the idea of giving up, but LKA head of operations Beck is determined to be tough. Buchert is more cold-blooded than the married Roth, father of a daughter, who did not seriously expect an escalation. Especially since Roth not only fights for the money, but also for his dignity: his business would never have slipped into insolvency if the bank had not terminated his loan without reason. While the defense is being organized in the bank and the Roth loan case is being discussed among the bank employees, the LKA is preparing the access outside.—ADR Das Erste
