Adapted from a five-and-a-half-hour television miniseries, this three-hour biopic chronicles 20 years in the life of Venezuelan revolutionary Ilich Ramírez Sánchez aka Carlos the Jackal. Édgar Ramírez stars in the title role as the ambitious, egotistical, yet powerfully charismatic man who founded a worldwide terrorist organisation and raided the OPEC headquarters in 1975 before finally being captured by the French police.
