Les Fugitifs (English: "The Fugitives") is a French 1986 action comedy film, directed by Francis Veber.

His former nemesis thinks that he orchestrated the latest robbery, and the veteran robber is forced to flee with his former captor.

After serving a five-year sentence for 14 bank robberies, Jean Lucas (Depardieu) is released from prison.

François follows, and ends up taking him to Dr. Martin (Jean Carmet), a senile veterinarian friend of his late father, to treat his wound.

Lucas suggests that he turn himself in and face the one-year jail time, promising that he'll visit Jeanne in the meantime.

He takes a job as a locksmith, and goes to visit Jeanne in the orphanage, where she has relapsed into a catatonic state, refusing to eat and speak to him.

After the doctor examines Jeanne, he discovers she has very low blood pressure, gives her a pill of tonicardiaque, and advises the men to feed her normally.

The policeman in charge assigns two motorcycle police to escort them to the hospital, but they don't leave until the orderlies arrive to ferry François inside.
