  • Synopsis

    Paris, 1830, under the rule of Napoleon. Murderers and thieves run wild, outnumbering the police.
    Having just abducted the daughter of wealthy banker Mr Segur, the elusive gang of The Dandies demands a ransom. Meanwhile, François Vidocq, a charismatic and inventive former convict, is trying to raise the funds needed to create a private police force.
    Faced with the incompetence of the state police, Mr. Segur offers Vidocq a bargain. If Vidocq frees his daughter, Segur will provide him with all the money he needs. Vidocq takes on the challenge and starts recruiting men among his outlaw friends...
    A spectacular big-budget and contemporary adventure, based on a timeless character who inspired the greatest writers of his day.
