Story Synopsis

Breathless is based upon the motion picture A Bout De Souffle from the screenplay by Jean-Luc Godard and the story by François Truffaut. Set as an erotic thriller it stars Richard Gere as Jesse Lujack a dashing rogue who gets away with everything until he makes a big mistake and becomes a fugitive in a murder case. He runs off to Mexico with his one true love Monica (Valerie Kaprisky), a beautiful French girl who is a student at UCLA. As the couple tries to outwit mobsters and the police Monica discovers she’s now also wanted by the police. Her trust in Jesse turns to fear, and she must decide whether to stand by him, or turn him over to the police to save her self. The plot twists and turns will keep your interest until the very end in this sexually graphic R-rated version.
