The Big Restaurant

Monsieur Septime is the pompous manager of a chic Parisian restaurant on the Champs-Elysées, feared by his staff but loathed by his temperamental head chef. When a South American president is kidnapped one evening during a dinner at his restaurant, Septime’s life takes a dramatic turn. The police concoct a scheme to draw the kidnappers out into the open, using Septime as bait. Unfortunately, the terrorists who had planned the kidnap are just as oblivious to the president’s whereabouts and see Septime as their enemy. Pursued by ruthless terrorists and scheming police, Septime’s days look well and truly numbered… —Filmsdefrance
