John Travolta and Jonathan Rhys-Meyers pair up as intelligence agents on a mission to stop a terrorist attack in Paris.

James Reese (Jonathan Rhys-Meyers) is a low-ranking intelligence operative working in the office of the US Ambassador in France. But life takes an unexpected turn when he gets hooked up with Charlie Wax (John Travolta), a high-ranking FBI agent who's been sent to Paris to foil a large-scale terrorist plot. Charlie's not afraid to spray bullets in all directions and leave mayhem in his wake, but his gung-ho, wisecracking ways soon wear thin for James, who likes to do things by the book. But with the duo running short of time to smoke out the bad guys, will it be a case of 'till death does them part'? Rules and regulations go right out of the window as a chaotic series of gunfights, car chases and explosions ensue in the world's most romantic city.

Screenplay: Luc Besson, Adi Hasak
