"The French Connection" swept the 1971 Academy Awards®, winning the five Best categories for Picture, Actor (Hackman), Director (Friedkin), Screenplay (Tidyman) and Editing (Greenberg). Based on the book by Robin Moore and inspired by a true story, this acclaimed film stars Gene Hackman as Jimmy "Popeye" Doyle, a tough New York City narcotics officer and his partner Buddy "Cloudy" Russo (Scheider) on a dangerous undercover assignment to bust a Frenchman dealer (Rey) and a half-million dollar shipment of heroine. Once the dealer learns of Popeye's identity, Doyle finds himself the target of assassination, and embarks in an edge-of-your-seat chase to catch the man who's trying to kill him. The French Connection is a riveting treat for action and thriller fans.
