An unprecedented box office phenomenon in France, where it shattered records to become the second most successful French film of all time, THE INTOUCHABLES tells the story of the unlikely friendship between a handicapped millionaire and his unconventional Senegalese caretaker. Paralyzed from the neck down and weary of the pitying attentions of his live-in help, Philippe (François Cluzet, TELL NO ONE) hires a recently paroled convict -- who only applied for the job in order to continue receiving his welfare payments. Gradually, these two men from very different worlds grow close, sharing in the joy and pain of each other's lives in this hilarious and heartwarming crowd-pleaser.
