The Burglars
Catch the burglars!
Directed by Henri Verneuil
Produced by Columbia Films S.A., Vides Cinematografica
A taut neo-noir heist thriller built on cat-and-mouse pursuit, police corruption, and the tension of a criminal gang racing against time in a foreign city.
In Athens a collection of emeralds is successfully stolen by a team of robbers, led by safe-cracker Azad. Things go smoothly until they miss the ship by which they planned their escape; a police chief pursues Azad while he waits for the next ship to set off.
