District 13 – Ultimatum
Premieres Wednesday, February 3rd at 8:30pm, followed by encore presentations at 10:15pm and 12:00am
Starring Cyrill Raffaelli, David Belle, Phillippe Torreton. Directed by Patrick Alessandrin
Two years have passed since elite police officer Damien Tomasso (Cyril Raffaelli) teamed up with reformed vigilante Leito (parkour originator David Belle) to save the notorious District 13, a racially charged ghetto populated by violent drug dealing gangs and vicious killers. Despite government promises to maintain order, the state of the district has deteriorated, and a group of corrupt cops and elected officials are conspiring to cause civil unrest in D13, looking for an excuse to raze the area and cash in on its redevelopment. Now Damian and Leito must join forces again, and use their mastery of martial arts and their unique physical skills to bring peace to the neighborhood by any means necessary… before a proposed nuclear airstrike wipes it off the map. With bone crunching fights and death defying leaps, this adrenaline charged sequel takes the groundbreaking parkour action from DISTRICT B13 to thrilling new heights.
*Program Note – District B-13 will air at 7:00pm and 1:45am on February 3rd
