Soon he is seduced by the neon glamour of sixties Paris and the easy money it presents. Mentored by Guido (G\u00e9rard\u00a0Depardieu) Mesrine turns his back on middle class law-abiding and soon moves swiftly up the criminal ladder. After pulling off an audacious heist he and his lover Jeanne (C\u00e9cile de France) flee to Canada where the opportunity of one big payout lures him out of hiding and propels him towards international notoriety.
