Detour: The French Connection

1971
104 mins

Considered one of the best American films ever made, this masterpiece garnered five Academy Awards, has made AFI’s top 100 list and is one of the many highlights of Gene Hackman’s long career.

After getting wind of a big shipment of heroin making its way to New York City, hard-nosed police detectives “Popeye” Doyle (Hackman) and Buddy Russo (Roy Scheider) hope to break up a narcotics smuggling ring and ultimately uncover their European suppliers, The French Connection. But when a suave French drug dealer (Fernando Rey) tries to kill Doyle, the loose cannon detective begins a deadly pursuit that will take him far beyond his jurisdiction and far outside the city limits.

Filmed down and dirty in the streets of NYC, William Friedkin packed his film with memorable setpieces, including the legendary car chase underneath the elevated-train tracks that set the gold standard for all chase scenes that followed. Don’t miss it!
