Quentin (Gérard Depardieu), a dim-witted giant who loves to talk, finds himself in jail after a botched bank robbery. He is placed in a cell with Ruby (Jean Reno), a brooding, taciturn outlaw with 15 million pounds waiting on the outside. Quentin mistakes Rubyʼs silence for good listening skills and thus starts a one-sided friendship. When Ruby escapes to recover his stash he is unable to shake off his new friend. So begins a frantic chase as the police and Rubyʼs former partners close in on the pair. A madcap comedy from Francis Veber (The Closet) with English subtitles.
