Outside the Law

After years apart, three Algerian brothers - jaded ex-soldier Messaoud (Roschdy Zem), former political prisoner Abdelkader (Sami Bouajila) and gangster Said (Jamel Debbouze) - reunite in the mid-1950s in France. Radicalised Abdelkader convinces Messaoud to join the Front de Liberation Nationale (FLN) and commit acts of terrorism in the fight for Algerian independence from its French colonial masters. Said refuses to be a part of their plans, preferring to focus on his nightclub and coaching boxers, which causes friction among the brothers. But as the police close in on Abdelkader and Messaoud, the siblings must join forces to stay alive.
