Max and Riton are two ageing gangsters who manage to pull off their final heist, a spectacular robbery at Orly airport. All is well until Max’s former girlfriend Josy tips off a rival gangster, Angelo. The latter kidnaps Ritton and threatens him unless Max hands over the spoils from his robbery.

Legendary actor Jean Gabin, starring opposite a young Jeanne Moreau, revitalized his career with this iconic gangster film from Jacques Becker. A distinctly French ode to Hollywood noir, Touchez pas au grisbi is an atmospheric classic, and a major influence on Scorsese’s The Irishman.
