What happens

District B13 (French title Banlieue 13 or B13), is a 2004 French action film directed by Pierre Morel, produced by Luc Besson, and written by Besson and Bibi Naceri. It depicts parkour in several action sequences, which was completed without wires or CGI, leading critics to draw comparisons to the Thai film Ong-Bak: The Thai Warrior. David Belle plays Leïto, the story's main character. This is the final film of Tony D'Amario, who plays K2, before his death in 2005. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
