Le Cercle Rouge (1970)

On the brink of freedom after a five-year sentence, Corey, a suave, aristocratic thief, finds himself drawn into an intriguing offer from a prison guard - a tempting jewelry heist. Undeterred by the risks, Corey daringly robs his old mob boss, Rico, setting off a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse as Rico's henchmen are dispatched to reclaim the stolen funds. Simultaneously, Vogel, a hardened criminal, masterfully escapes from the firm grip of the patient, cat-loving police superintendent Mattei during a train transport. Fate intertwines Corey and Vogel's lives when Corey unknowingly becomes Vogel's getaway car from Marseille to Paris. Upon discovering Vogel, Corey becomes an unlikely accomplice, allowing him to remain concealed in the trunk. When Rico's men intercept them, Vogel's timely intervention saves Corey but costs him his stolen fortune. Bereft of funds but brimming with audacity, Corey resolves to proceed with the jewelry heist, enlisting Vogel's help and inviting Jansen, an ex-police sharpshooter, to join their unlikely trio. As they execute a flawless heist, the vengeful Rico seeks retribution, and the relentless Mattei, unafraid to bend the rules, tightens the noose. With Mattei turning the screws on Santi, a nightclub owner entangled in the underworld, to snare the daring thieves, the plot deepens. Over this intricate dance of crime and retribution, the police director's ominous proclamation looms - no man is innocent. Le Cercle Rouge spins a tale of crime and consequences, of unlikely alliances and relentless pursuit, where every twist and turn pulls you deeper into the red circle of fate.
