Taking refuge in the Casbah of Algiers, Pépé Le Moko - the chief of a band of robbers - falls in love with a beautiful young woman named Gaby. Unfortunately, their romance is a short one since Slimane, an informer, sets a trap for Pépé to get him to leave his haunt. Both a king and prisoner, his fate lies in the hands of the Parisian beauty.

Initially released during France’s cinematic Golden Age in 1937, Julien Duvivier's timeless romantic thriller starring notable French talent Jean Gabin is deemed by critics as one of the most enjoyable films ever made. It was remade twice in the US and had a clear influence on Graham Greene’s Brighton Rock and Gillo Pontecorvo’s The Battle of Algiers. The influential classic returns to the silver screen now fully restored.
