Released in cinemas in 2018, Taxi 5 has renewed fan interest in one of cinema's most iconic French sagas. Helmed by producer Luc Besson, this fifth opus was directed by Franck Gastambide, also a lead actor, marking a new stage in the franchise.
Sylvain Marot, Parisian super cop and exceptional pilot, is transferred against his will to Marseille's Police Municipale. Ex-Commissioner Gibert, now the city's mayor and at the bottom of the polls, entrusts Marot with the mission of stopping the dreaded "Italian Gang", who are raiding jewelry stores with powerful Ferraris. But to succeed, Marot will have no choice but to collaborate with the famous Daniel's grand-nephew, Eddy Maklouf, the worst VTC driver in Marseille, but the only one who can recover the legendary white TAXI.
Gastambide's breakthrough came with the film Les Kaïra, and he has established himself as a key figure on the French film scene. He shares the bill with well-known names such as Malik Bentalha, Ramzy Bedia, Monsieur Poulpe, and the return of Bernard Farcy in the iconic role of Commissaire Gibert, now Mayor of Marseille. Despite the absence of Samy Naceri and Frédéric Diefenthal, who contributed to the fame of the first films, Taxi 5 retains the key elements that made the series such a success: breathtaking chases and a mix ofaction andhumor.
The film introduces Sylvain Marot, played by Franck Gastambide, an exceptional police officer transferred to the Marseille Municipal Police. Ex-Commissioner Gibert, at a low ebb in the polls, entrusts him with the task of arresting the "Italian Gang", who are robbing jewelry stores with Ferraris. To succeed, Sylvain Marot must team up with Eddy Maklouf, the grand-nephew of the famous Daniel, played by Malik Bentalha. Despite his reputation as Marseille's worst VTC driver, Eddy is the only one who can recover the mythical white cab.
Cab 5 promises an adventure full of twists and turns, sure to delight nostalgic fans of the saga and newcomers alike. Broadcast on TMC on Thursday, October 17, 2024 at 11:55pm, it's the perfect opportunity to (re)discover this chapter in the Taxi franchise.
