The Burglars (French: Le casse) is a 1971 French-Italian neo noir crime film directed by director Henri Verneuil and starring Jean-Paul Belmondo and Omar Sharif.

The movie is known for its car chase by Rémy Julienne's crew through the streets of Athens, and Belmondo's rolling fall from a construction truck down a steep, rocky hillside.

In Athens, Azad, Ralph, Renzi, and Helen execute a heist, pilfering a suitcase of emeralds from a wealthy Greek citizen, M. Tasco, during his absence.

Azad eludes the police but has to leave behind the jewels buried under the wheat with Zacharia, underscoring the theme that crime does not pay.
