Newly transferred to the bustling port city of Marseille to assist with a crackdown on organized crime, energetic young magistrate Pierre Michel is given a rapid-fire tutorial on the ins and outs of an out-of-control drug trade. Pierre's wildly ambitious mission is to take on the French Connection, a highly organized operation that controls the city's underground heroin economy and is overseen by the notorious —and reputedly untouchable— Gaetan Zampa. Fearless, determined and willing to go the distance, Pierre plunges into an underworld world of insane danger and ruthless criminals.

Charming French thriller with a hint of a French Connection.

Like retro clothing, it's old, it's new and it's cool as hell. The Connection tells the French side of the French Connection (an infamous drug ring in Marseilles in the 70s, brought to the screen in 1971 by William Friedkin (The Exorcist)), and does it with all of the skill, art and balls of the film it compliments. And what balls they are. Jean Dujardin plays French judge Pierre Michel who will stop at nothing to capture Gilles Lellouche in the role of the drug kingpin who has to fight the rival upstart gang leader portrayed by Benoît Magimel. Great story telling, amazing cast and Cédric Jimenez's (Novembre, Bac Nord / The Stronghold) vision is as pure as Marseillais heroin.
