Based on real events, Flic Story follows the hunt for the dangerous criminal Emile Buisson (Jean-Louis Trintignant), who escaped from prison in 1947. For three years, Buisson manages to hide from detective Borniche (Alain Delon) by repeatedly killing his informants. When he’s finally caught, Buisson will have committed more than 100 robberies and killed 30 people. Flic Story is an underestimated gem that has rarely been screened in the UK since its release in the 1970s.
