Director Henri Verneuil assembles three of France’s biggest stars for one of the great Euro crime classics! A brutal young mobster (Alain Delon) plots an elaborate jewel heist and daring airplane hijack with the help of The Sicilian Clan’s aging mob boss (Jean Gabin). But a determined investigator (Lino Ventura) will do anything it takes to stop them. Featuring a score by Ennio Morricone!
“First-rate. A fast-paced in-depth thriller that blends characterization with the action to provide a most satisfying entertainment. A tenser, tauter, more fascinating step-by-step commision of a complicated crime is difficult to recall.” – Judith Christ, NBC-TV Today Show
