The French Connection (1971) is a gripping crime thriller based on true events. It follows NYPD detectives Jimmy โ€œPopeyeโ€ Doyle (Gene Hackman) and Buddy Russo (Roy Scheider) as they uncover a major heroin-smuggling operation. The drugs are being transported from Marseille, led by the sophisticated French kingpin Alain Charnier.

Doyleโ€™s obsessive and unorthodox methods dominate the investigation. A standout moment includes the iconic car chase under an elevated train, showcasing Doyleโ€™s determination.

The story builds to a tense climax with a raid on the drug operation. However, the resolution leaves lingering ambiguity about justice, reflecting the complex morality of law enforcement.

Directed by William Friedkin, the filmโ€™s raw style, intense performances, and realistic portrayal of urban crime earned it five Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Actor for Hackman, cementing its place as a classic of the genre.
