Cévennes, South of France, 1943: a group of French resistance fighters breaks into a prison to release twelve political prisoners. The rescue attempt succeeds, but a mysterious 13th prisoner escapes with the others. Costa-Gavras’s second feature film is a high-tension war western, which testifies his ability to perfectly combine commitment and entertainment.
