On March 12, 2003, television news and radio flashes opened on a small Italian robber unknown to the general public. Antonio Ferrara is not 30 years old and has just signed the most extraordinary escape. A commando has just extracted Ferrara from prison with bazookas and Kalashnikovs. The new Mesrine shakes up the prison system, ridicules the government, depresses the elite of the police who relentlessly tracked him down. The city robber turned into a media mobster.
