Balle perdue, the French action thriller directed by Guillaume Pierret, is broadcast on TFX on Friday, September 18, 2026 at 9:10 PM. Released in 2020, the film brings together Alban Lenoir, Nicolas Duvauchelle, Ramzy Bedia and Stéfi Celma.
Lino is a mechanic who specializes in prepping ram-raid cars. Arrested after a heist that goes wrong, he catches the eye of Charas, the head of a police unit dedicated to stopping smugglers driving fast vehicles. He offers to use his skills for the team to help him avoid prison.
A few months later, Lino is wrongly accused of a homicide. To prove his innocence, he must locate a missing car that contains the only piece of evidence capable of exonerating him: the bullet from the crime. His pursuit leads him to confront corrupt police officers who are trying to make this evidence disappear.
Alban Lenoir embodies Lino and co-writes the screenplay with Guillaume Pierret and Kamel Guemra. Nicolas Duvauchelle plays Areski, Ramzy Bedia portrays Charas and Stéfi Celma takes on Julia. Pascale Arbillot and Rod Paradot are among those who complete the cast.
The film builds its plot around Lino’s mechanical know-how and his race to recover the vehicle that can exonerate him. Car chases, physical confrontations, and the work focused on the cars all take center stage in this thriller from France.
Lost Bullet went on to spawn Lost Bullet 2, released in 2022, and then Lost Bullet 3. These two sequels extend the story of Lino and the conflicts established in the first film.
Balle perdue airs on TFX on Friday, September 18, 2026 at 9:10 p.m. The channel notes the film is not suitable for viewers under 10, and offers audio-described versions as well as options for the deaf or hard of hearing.
