ある企業から重要書類を盗み出した男。彼は追っ手を逃れ、パリの地下に網の目のように拡がる地下道に紛れ込む。そこには地上とは異なる、別の世界があった……。近未来を舞台に、パリ地下水道をエキセントリックに描き出したＳＦアドヴェンチャー。ランベールとアジャーニの無機質な表情と作品世界が実にマッチしているＬ・ベッソン監督作品。

The plot explores the devastation of civilization and issues of brutality, hostility and isolation. Pierre Jolivet stars as the main character (identified only as "The Man" in the end credits) who is menaced by "The Brute" (played by Jean Reno) on his journey through a world filled by people rendered nearly mute by some unknown incident.
