The Connection

Drafthouse Films | Release Date: May 15, 2015

Summary: Real-life Marseilles magistrate Pierre Michel (Jean Dujardin) goes on a relentless crusade to dismantle the most notorious drug smuggling operation in history: the French Connection. In his crosshairs is charismatic and wealthy kingpin, Gatean "Tany" Zampa (Gilles Lellouche), who runs the largest underground heroin trade into the States. Though the fearless and tenacious Michel, aided by a task force of elite cops, will stop at nothing—including boldly orchestrated drug raids, devastating arrests, and exacting interrogations—to ensure the crime ring's demise, Zampa's "La French" always seems one step ahead. As La French mounts its retaliation, Michel will be forced to make the most difficult decision of his life: to continue waging his war, or ensure his family's safety, before it's too late.
