Two men returning to France on the same boat from the war in Algeria in the late '60s just happen to meet each other at the dock. Dino Barran (Delon) is an army doctor who is wrestling with some tragedy but we’re not sure what. Franz Propp (Bronson) is an American fighting with the Legionnaires. The two men hang out with each other for a few hours. Propp eventually tries to recruit Barran to help him on some sort of scheme. He’s planning on doing something illegal and needs a doctor to go along. Barran declines. He’s got another job he has to take care of first. Barran feels obligated to help the lover of his best friend, Isabelle (Olga Georges-Picot). She wants him to break into her firm and put something back inside a safe.
Propp, who now works auctions of hot women to the highest bidder, is still intrigued by Barran. He decides to follow him and see what he’s up getting into. On a long New Year’s weekend, Propp follows Barran into Isabelle’s work. While Barran still wants to put something back into the safe, Propp wants to steal it for himself. The two end up getting locked inside the safe without any provisions and without a way out. These two polar opposites will have to work together to make it out alive.
