A classic French comic strip comes to the screen in a winner-take-all live-action racing adventure. Michel Vaillant (Sagamore Stévenin) is a Formula One car driver, a member of the famous Vaillant racing family. They have won every race and every honor. Their rivals, the Leaders are ruthless and cunning, and will do anything to unseat the Vaillants and take over as the top racing team. At least, that's the way it has always been. But the world renown Le Mans, a grueling 24 hour endurance, pushes both teams to their physical and psychological limits. Can the Vaillants win? Can they do it and maintain their honor?
