Adam Franco is an undercover special ops agent working for the French government under the helm of a shadowy intelligence officer, Kruger.

After finishing a mission in Tunisia, he is assigned a new task by Kruger under the direction of a Senator Marconnet: to flush out and eliminate a Sudanese warlord, Moktar Al Tayeb, who is the prime suspect of a bombing in a Paris hotel.

Al Tayeb reveals that he has been framed by the French government: he was invited to France under pretense of discussing Sudanese politics, but was the victim of an assassination attempt.

Meanwhile, Kruger wants to clean up and has sent two units of elite commandos to kill Al Tayeb, Victor, and everyone connected to the operation, under the direction of Senator Marconnet.

Lastly, Pee Wee and Adam expose Senator Marconnet's connections to Al Tayeb, which makes front page news.

[1] Noel Murray of the Los Angeles Times wrote that AKA does not innovate in the undercover genre, but he praised Florent Astolfi's moody cinematography and Etienne Forget's score for adding texture and drive.

[2] Roger Moore rated it 2 stars out of 5 based on the fact that the "incidents, relationships and even the intrigues here are all over-familiar tropes, which prevents this competently-made thriller ever rise to the level of engaging.

"[3] Eric Debarnot from Benzine, a French-language cultural web magazine, wrote that the film had achieved a worldwide and well-deserved, if albeit surprising, success.
