What can American cinema do? How to explain its undeniable role in the history of cinema? Indissociable from geopolitics in the twentieth century, this national preponderance for the industrial art demands that we regularly linger on it to see what it is all about - in terms of the present as much as the past.
A man, his wife and their friend stage a brutal bank robbery without realizing that they are robbing the mafia.
