During the German Occupation of France during the Second World War, many spies working for the French Resistance movement lived in constant fear of betrayal by collaborators or simply by careless talk.

Jean Moulin, one of the chief figures in the French Resistance, used his power and contacts as a senior civil servant to gather information on German troop movements. Known by the codename 'Max', his information was invaluable to Resistance sabotage groups and also to the Allied Forces in Britain.

Moulin's downfall came about when Nazi soldiers stormed a clandestine meeting between Moulin and the heads of the Resistance groups in June 1943. His undoing came as a tip off to the Gestapo, by Rene Hardy, another key Resistance figure. Moulin was interrogated by the infamous Klaus Barbie and was tortured for days without ever giving away any information, before dying from the injuries he sustained at Barbie's hands.

Runtime:- 180 minutes
