After the tremendous popular success of the
Fantômas novels, both of the major French
film studios — Pathé and Gaumont —
vied for the rights to produce films based
on the series. Gaumont won, and from
April 1913 to May 1914 Louis Feuillade
directed five Fantômas films which critic
David Thomson has described as "the first
great movie experience."。为了为女儿的癌症治疗筹集资金,一名退休的公牛骑手与他疏远的儿子联手,在时间耗尽前抢劫以确保付款。但在抢劫案出错后,要想保住这笔钱——以及他们的自由——需要两人智胜当地两名顽强的执法人员,其中包括一名有正义意识的警长,她很快怀疑,她的案件的关键可能就在离家不远的地方。。
