Kamikaze 1989 is a 1982 West German cyberpunk thriller film co-written and directed by Wolf Gremm, based on the 1964 novel Murder on the Thirty-First Floor by Per Wahlöö.
For example, home-grown vegetables are banned, there are no more suicides (only "unexpected deaths"), television ensures peace and quiet with programs such as the annual laughing competition (which is ranked alongside Einstein and Napoleon) and the always positive weather report, the police (symbol: fist with stretched thumb) with their action against "Prokos" for order.
When the company is threatened with a bomb explosion that fails to materialize, the police chief gives Lieutenant Jansen four days to investigate the case.
After the company's HR manager dies an “unexpected death”, the CEO's nephew is initially suspected, but Jansen can immediately rule out that he was the perpetrator (but this does not prevent him from using acoustic torture methods).
Other suspects are the former company employee Zerling, who is involved in the appearance of the Blue Panther, the television presenter Barbara, also an alcoholic, and the management assistant Elena Farr.
