Starring Alain Delon, this crime action film abandons the cliché plot of bank robberies ending in unequal division of spoils and subsequent arrests. Instead, the heist takes place on an airplane, with the conclusion leading to the entire Sicilian clan's arrest due to an inadvertently revealed affair within the family. The film's structure is notably layered, with unexpected twists and turns. Starting with the Sicilian family's rescue of Sedan from a prison transport, several dramatic climaxes unfold, such as Alain Delon's trouble while hiring a prostitute; the insurance agent's wife discovering her husband is not on the plane and recognizing Alain Delon when she calls the police; and the detective monitoring Alain Delon's sister, leading to the Sicilian brothers' arrest. These designs interconnect smoothly, creating a cohesive narrative.
