When a hold-up goes badly wrong, four criminals take refuge in a
shopping centre which becomes a scene of feverish panic as guns go
off. In the confusion, they shoot a man and take a woman
hostage. To evade capture, they force their way into a car, not
knowing that its driver is a father who is taking his seriously ill son
to hospital. What ensues is a nightmarish chase and the hunted
know that there is no possible hope of return...

The best of American cinema
Since the 1920s, Hollywood has dominated the film industry, but that doesn't mean American cinema is all bad - America has produced so many great films that you could never watch them all in one lifetime.
It was American film noir and pulp fiction that kick-started the craze for thrillers in 1950s France and made it one of the most popular and enduring genres.
In the 1910s, French cinema led the way with a new industry which actively encouraged innovation. From the serials of Louis Feuillade to the first auteur pieces of Abel Gance, this decade is rich in cinematic marvels.
