L'entente cordiale

Crooked arms dealer Viktor Zilenko (Ivan Franek) steals a revolutionary microchip which, when implanted into a soldier, makes him impervious to pain. Zilenko intends to sell the chip back to the Russians through the intermediary of the French secret service. François de la Conche (Christian Clavier), an aristocratic secret agent, is sent to London to undertake the transaction, accompanied by a hired interpreter Jean-Pierre Moindreau (Daniel Auteuil). During the exchange, Zilenko and his men are attacked by rival agents, and only de la Conche and Moindreau survive the ensuing massacre. In the confusion, the chip gets injected into Moindreau’s arm. Unless it is removed within 12 hours, the chip will cause the interpreter to explode!
