Wiki.
The Assassination (French: L'Attentat, lit. 'The Attack') is a 1972 French-Italian political thriller film directed by Yves Boisset. Starring Jean-Louis Trintignant, Gian Maria Volonté, and Roy Scheider, it was released in the U.S. as The French Conspiracy.
The film was inspired by the 1965 disappearance of Moroccan nationalist politician Mehdi Ben Barka in Paris. Shortly after his death, it emerged that Ben Barka had been abducted by French police, leading to speculation of a plot between Moroccan agents, French intelligence, and the CIA.
The Assassination was entered into the 8th Moscow International Film Festival where it won the Silver Prize.
