Dead Weight

Moltès is in prison. He plays the lottery every week, and every week Reggio, a blundering prison guard, validates the tickets for him. One day, Moltès finds out he's won the jackpot...15 million big ones. Problem is, Reggio can't find the ticket anywhere. He thinks his wife Pauline has gone to a rally in Africa with the winning ticket in her pocket. So Moltès escapes prison and heads to Bamako, Mali to get his ticket back. He forces Reggio to come with him. Now both of them get to be chased across the desert by Le Turc, a coldblooded gangster who's got it in for Moltès, and Le Meg, his huge bodyguard.
