Le Samouraï (1967)
Jef Costello, un tueur à gages, est chargé d'éliminer le patron d'une boîte de nuit. Un soir, il exécute froidement son contrat. Valérie, la pianiste de l'établissement, l'a vu commettre son crime. Jef met alors soigneusement au point un alibi, avec l'aide de sa maîtresse, Jane Lagrange. Mais la police a des soupçons à son égard et le surveille de très près. Son employeur, dont il ignore tout, y compris son identité, tente de le faire abattre lors de la remise de la prime, sur une passerelle. Être solitaire et glacé, enfermé dans son code de l'honneur, Jef Costello, blessé au bras, ne peut plus compter sur personne et comprend qu'il va lui falloir sauver sa peau et affronter tous ceux qui en veulent à sa vie…
