District B13

District B13 (Banlieue 13, 2004) is a French parkour action thriller you can watch online on iFILM. Pierre Morel directs from a script co-written and produced by Luc Besson.

Paris, the near future. The roughest neighborhoods have been walled off and abandoned to gangs, drugs and guns, with no police left inside. When a stolen neutron bomb ends up behind that wall, special-forces operative Damien is sent to disarm it. He can't do it alone. His guide is Leïto, a local who wants the same crime boss dead — the man holding his sister hostage. From there the two tear across rooftops and stairwells without a single safety wire.

The leads are David Belle, the founder of parkour, and stuntman Cyril Raffaelli, who perform nearly every move themselves, no CGI doubles. Eighty-five lean minutes of chases, free-running and hand-to-hand fights. The film kicked off a franchise and later got an American remake, Brick Mansions. Stream District B13 (2004) online on iFILM.
