In Washington in the 1980s, Bob Mazur is a federal agent who is used to carrying
out undercover investigations. He is on the point of giving up this
dangerous profession when he is once more led down the same road for another
important assignment. Once again, he must adopt a false identity so
that he can infiltrate an illegal drugs cartel led by Pablo Escobar, a notorious
criminal. In this task, he is partnered with Emir, who is well-acquainted
with the habits of Escobar and his entourage but is not the most reliable
of accomplices. Meanwhile, an inexperienced recruit, Kathy Ertz, is
to pass herself off as his fiancée. It is Bob's riskiest assignment
yet, and one false move could be fatal - for him and his far from ideal associates...

The greatest French film directors
From Jean Renoir to François Truffaut, French cinema has no shortage of truly great filmmakers, each bringing a unique approach to the art of filmmaking.
In the 1910s, French cinema led the way with a new industry which actively encouraged innovation. From the serials of Louis Feuillade to the first auteur pieces of Abel Gance, this decade is rich in cinematic marvels.
It was American film noir and pulp fiction that kick-started the craze for thrillers in 1950s France and made it one of the most popular and enduring genres.
Since the 1920s, Hollywood has dominated the film industry, but that doesn't mean American cinema is all bad - America has produced so many great films that you could never watch them all in one lifetime.
