La Voie est Libre

Jules, a desperate ex-train conductor, who's tried over and over again to contest his being fired for vague economic reasons, finally is pushed to the edge by a lack of response from the railroad administration. Jules decides to take ten inhabitants of a small town in the suburbs of Lyon as his hostages in a mad plan to redress his hopeless situation. However, Jules is no better at playing tough-guy hero than he is at driving trains.
