The film that launched the French New Wave follows Michel, a petty criminal who kills a policeman and then tries to persuade his American girlfriend Patricia to flee with him to Italy.

Godard revolutionizes cinema with jump cuts, handheld cameras, and improvised dialogue, creating a love letter to American film noir while establishing a new cinematic language that would influence generations of filmmakers.
