'''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' (Portugese: '''''Tropa de Elite''''') is a 2007 Brazilian action film directed by [[José Padilha]] that follows members of Brazil's Batalhão de Operações Policiais Especiais (Special Operations Battalion) . Padilha would go on to direct the 2010 sequel ''[[Elite Squad: The Enemy Within]]''.
In 1997, before the visit of the pope to Rio de Janeiro, Captain Nascimento from BOPE (Special Police Operation Battalion) is assigned to eliminate the risks of the drug dealers in a dangerous slum nearby where the pope intends to be lodged. Captain Nascimento is trying to find a man to replace him because his wife is pregnant and he intends to quit the command and become a trainer of the new recruits. Meanwhile, the two idealistic friends Neto and Matias join the Military Police force expecting to become honest policemen and fight the criminals…(Plot summary from Imdb.com)
