With Largo Winch, Jérôme Salle adapts the universe imagined by Jean Van Hamme and Philippe Francq and published since the late 1980s.

The lead role is played by Tomer Sisley, noted for his intense, physical portrayal of Largo. Kristin Scott Thomas and Predrag "Miki" Manojlovic complete the cast, adding to the project's international appeal. The film's success led to a sequel, Largo Winch II, released in 2011, again starring Sisley as the heir.
Largo Winch combines spectacular action sequences, chases and confrontations with a plot inspired by financial thrillers. The result is a hybrid film, somewhere between adventure and espionage. It could appeal to fans of European comics as well as those drawn to action sagas such as Jason Bourne or James Bond.
