Released in November 2016, Alliés(Allied in the original version) is a historical-romantic thriller directed by Robert Zemeckis, with a screenplay by Steven Knight. Set during the Second World War, the film stars Brad Pitt as an Allied counter-espionage agent, and Marion Cotillard as a French resistance fighter. The film combines tension, love and betrayal in an authentic historical setting. Available on Prime Video from October 15, 2024, Alliés is a must-see for fans of romantic thrillers and historical dramas.
In 1942, at the height of the Second World War, Max Vatan(Brad Pitt), an Allied counter-espionage agent, is sent to Casablanca on an extremely risky mission: to assassinate a high-ranking Nazi dignitary. While there, he meets Marianne Beauséjour(Marion Cotillard), a French resistance fighter with whom he must work as a false couple to complete the mission. Their professional relationship soon turns into a passionate romance, and after the success of their mission, they marry and start a new life in London.
However, a few months later, Max receives alarming news from the British secret service: Marianne could be an undercover German spy. Doubt sets in, and Max finds himself in a harrowing situation: he has 72 hours to discover the truth about the woman he loves and Marianne's true identity. Between love and duty, Max must choose between protecting his family or fulfilling his duty, as the tension mounts with every passing moment.
Allies will appeal to fans of romantic thrillers and historical films set during the Second World War. It will also appeal to fans of Brad Pitt and Marion Cotillard, who deliver powerful performances, particularly in scenes of emotional tension and suspense. With its glamorous yet tense atmosphere, the film is reminiscent of classic spy/romance films such as Casablanca and The English Patient.
What makes Allies original is its perfectly balanced blend of tragic romance and spy thriller. The film explores not only the personal and emotional issues of wartime love, but also the complex questions of loyalty and betrayal. Robert Zemeckis' meticulous direction, combined with top-quality costumes and historical reconstruction, transports the viewer to the 1940s, at the heart of the Occupation and the fight for freedom.
Available on Prime Video from October 15, 2024, Allies is a gripping romantic thriller that deftly blends espionage, romance and World War II. With poignant performances from Brad Pitt and Marion Cotillard, the film plunges viewers into an intense dilemma where love and duty collide. A must-see for those looking for a thriller with a tragic love story as its backdrop.
