Spoilers ahead
As the City of Light falls under the cloak of night, Driss (Omar Sy), behind the wheel of Philippe’s (François Cluzet) luxurious Maserati Quattroporte, races through the winding streets of Paris. The police chase them, closing in, but Driss devises a clever ruse: he persuades the officers that his quadriplegic friend Philippe must urgently reach the hospital. With both his quick thinking and Philippe’s convincing portrayal of a seizure, they easily deceive the authorities, leading them to safety.
