Summary:	Bullitt: San Francisco cop Frank Bullitt is assigned to protect a mobster about to testify against his brother's crime organization. When his friend is shot and the witness is left at death's door by two hit men who seem to know exactly where the witness was hidden, Bullitt clandestinely moves the mobster while he tries to find out who is after the witness, and why it seems so easy for "them" to find him. Papillon: Thrilling adventure of Henri Charrière's escape from the prison on Devil's Island. A petty criminal, Papillon is wrongly convicted of murder and sentenced to life in a French penal colony off the coast of South America. He attempts to escape several times, despite incarcerations in solitary confinement as punishment, until he finally succeeds. The Cincinnati kid: The Kid thinks he's the best 5-card stud player in town, but The Man has never been beaten. It is therefore inevitable that they go head-on, and what a game it will be: a non-stop, stud poker duel-to-the-death to decide who will be the reigning king of the New Orleans gambling world. The getaway: The sheriff grants convict Doc McCoy parole, with a catch--rob another bank! McCoy is promptly joined by his wife for the bank robbery. But the sheriff doesn't intend to let McCoy walk away after the heist, and neither does his accomplice, Rudy Butler. They'll find stopping Doc and Carol a trifle difficult.
