Description of this The Man From Rio Poster
The Man from Rio is an international Franco-Italian co-production adventure film directed in 1964 by Philippe de Broca with Jean-Paul Belmondo and Françoise Dorléac. It is the first film made by the French subsidiary of United Artists, Les Productions Artistes Associés. The film was a huge success with a total of 4,800,626 admissions in France, becoming the 5th highest-grossing film of the year.
This fast-paced parody of the James Bond films features striking shots of Rio de Janeiro, Brasilia and Paris, directed by Edmond Séchan. At the 37th Academy Awards, the film was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay.
The story is inspired by The Adventures of Tintin comic book series, and The Man from Rio was one of the main sources of inspiration for Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981). Steven Spielberg reportedly told de Broca that he had seen it nine times.
While aviator Adrien Dufourquet is on an 8-day leave in Paris to see his fiancée Agnès, two South American Indians steal an Amazonian statuette from the Musée de l'Homme and force Professor Catalan, the curator, to climb into their car. Catalan was Agnes' father's companion on an expedition to the Amazon rainforest during which his father died. Catalan believes the statuette is one of three that hold the secret to an Amazonian treasure. Adrien arrives in time to see the Indians kidnap Agnès, the only one who knows where her father's statuette is, and he chases them to the airport where he steals a ticket and gets on the same plane.
Adrien announces to the pilot that his fiancée has been kidnapped, but Agnès has been drugged and does not recognize him. The pilot plans to have Adrien arrested when they reach Rio de Janeiro, but Adrien escapes the police upon his arrival. With the help of Sir Winston, a Brazilian shoeshine boy, Adrien saves Agnes. They recover the buried statuette, but the Indians steal it from them.
In a stolen car provided by Sir Winston, Agnès and Adrien travel to Brasilia to meet Senhor de Castro, a wealthy industrialist who owns the third statuette. On the way, they come across the Indians' car with Catalan slumped inside; after recovering it, they continue their journey to Brasilia.
At a party in their honor, De Castro takes Catalan to his vault to assure him of the statuette's safety, and Catalan, who planned the museum heist, murders him and steals the statuette. By the time Adrien discovers the body, Catalan and the Indians have kidnapped Agnes again and fled by seaplane. Adrien steals a plane and follows them.
In a floating jungle café run by Lola, the woman who financed Catalan, Adrien learns that Catalan murdered Agnès' father and that Agnès is being held in a boat. Adrien rushes to the boat and clings to its side as it swims upstream and finally docks. While Catalan goes to the treasure's underground location, Adrien knocks out all of Catalan's accomplices and saves Agnes. Catalan finds the treasure, but an explosion set off by a Trans-Amazonian Highway construction crew buries him with the treasure. Adrien and Agnès escape the jungle and arrive in Paris in time for Adrien to take the train back to his garrison.
