故事发生在1936年的德国，那一年，在德国柏林举办了第11届奥林匹克运动会。乔治（让-保罗·贝尔蒙多 Jean Paul Belmondo 饰）是一名来自法国的拳击教练，尽管他对法西斯的残暴统治深恶痛绝，但迫于形势也只能委曲求全。 乔治曾经在一战中担任过飞行员的职务，激烈的交战之中，他与名叫甘特（弗兰克·霍夫曼 Frank Hoffmann 饰）的德国飞行员相识了，两人之间产生了真挚的友谊。在奥运会上，乔治和甘特重逢了，他们的友谊并没有因为时间的流逝而沾染尘埃。一次偶然中，乔治和甘特遇见了一名犹太男孩，男孩悲惨的境遇令两个男人心中十分不忍，他们决定联起手来，尽各自所能，将男孩和他的家人送往境外。In this action comedy the French boxer Jo Cavalier is charmed on the train to Berlin for the Olympics in Hitler's Germany by the little boy Simon Rosenblum who asks his autograph; when it turns out his adorable young fan is a Jewish orphan in danger of persecution, he risks his one shot at Olympic glory to save Simon and his family, helped only by a German officer-gentleman who became his friend in World War I, by an adventurous escape to Switzerland, Nazi troops on their heals and braving impossible odds in roller coaster-style.
