Ace of Aces

On the train to Berlin for the 1936 Olympics, a small boy named Simon Rosenblum (Rachid Ferrache) asks the French boxer Jo Cavalier (Jean-Paul Belmondo) for his autograph. Simon turns out to be a Jewish orphan, and Jo, who has come to Hitler's Germany for his one shot at Olympic glory, decides the boy matters more. Gérard Oury sends them toward Switzerland with Nazi troops close behind, and Jo is gambling the medal he trained for.
