The Unvanquished

“Have I The Right to Kill?”

Thomas Vlassenroot (Alain Delon) has deserted the French Foreign Legion and is running from the authorities, in a film that alludes to the Algerian War. He helps Dominique (Lea Massari), a woman taken hostage by a group of terrorists, and she gives him money to reach France. Alain Cavalier keeps the two of them tied together, he wounded and hunted, she owing him her freedom, and neither can walk away clean.
