Quand Marseille devient le théâtre d’une évasion folle

One man, one helicopter, one promise. In 1999, Patrick Guillemin hijacked a helicopter to break Jean-Louis Raphaël out of Baumettes prison. A daring operation, involving a hostage situation, gunfire from watchtowers, a family escape… and a tragic death. This documentary retraces this spectacular helicopter escape: extreme tension, a friendship forged in prison, and a gripping investigation led by the Marseille Criminal Investigation Department. A true story, moving and extraordinary.
