Marlon Brando and Richard Boone star in this taut psychological thriller that examines the darkest impulses of the human psyche. Set in Northern France, a gang of four professional criminals brazenly kidnaps a wealthy teenage girl from an airport in Paris as part of a meticulous plan to extort a ransom from the girl's father. Holding her prisoner in an isolated beach house, the gang's scheme runs perfectly until their personal demons surface and lead to a series of betrayals that culminate in an intense climax.
