Screening of two episodes, in the presence of the creator Matt Charman, and the actress Izuka Hoyle.

Synopsis

Amber, a principled young prison transport officer, escorts Tibor, a trained killer and highvalue inmate, to testify against his elite crime syndicate. When their convoy is ambushed, she’s forced to put her life in his hands. Handcuffed and on the run, they must race to reach their destination.

 

Note from the artistic direction

Tahar Rahim had already shone in English-language series (Looming Tower, The Serpent). He does it again with Prisoner, the new CANAL+ Original Creation in collaboration with Sky, in which he plays an inmate - as brilliant as he is dangerous - on the run. A breathless chase driven at a relentless pace, with an energy reminiscent of 24.
