Outside the Law (2010)
|
Outside the Law is a 2010 French-Algerian film and the standalone follow-up to Days of Glory, set between 1945 and 1962. Three Algerian brothers are separated after their father is killed in the 1945 Sétif massacre. Abdelkadar is jailed in France for participating in demonstrations, Messaoud enlists in the French Army as a paratrooper and is sent to Indochina, and Saïd moves with his elderly mother to Paris, where he makes his fortune in the shady underground of Pigalle. Eventually the three brothers are reunited, where they get involved in the struggle for Algerian independence.
It should be noted that, despite sharing the same character names and actors as Days of Glory, the movie should be considered a standalone, rather then direct, sequel.
The following weapons appear in the film Outside the Law:
Sidearms
Browning Hi-Power

Colt M1911A1
