The Burglars

The Burglars (French: Le casse) is a 1971 crime film directed by director Henri Verneuil and starring Jean-Paul Belmondo and Omar Sharif. It is based on the 1953 novel by David Goodis and revolves around a team of four burglars chased by a corrupt policeman in Athens. The movie is known for its car chase by Rémy Julienne's crew through the streets of Athens, and Belmondo's rolling fall from a construction truck down a steep, rocky hillside. The movie was shot twice, once in French and once in English, by the same cast.
