Une affaire d'État est un film français réalisé par Éric Valette en 2009.

Synopsis

Nora Chahyd, une jeune policière énervée, enquête sur l’assassinat d'une fille dans une rue de Pigalle. Au même moment, un avion bourré d'armes et de munitions explose au-dessus du golfe de Guinée. La jeune policière ne se doute alors pas un seul instant que les deux affaires sont liées et impliquent toutes les deux des personnes haut-placées, et notamment Victor Bornand, le "Monsieur Afrique" officieux du gouvernement chargé des dossiers concernant les relations entre la France et divers pays d'Afrique, que cherche à faire chuter Macquart, le chef de la DGSI, incarné par un acteur présentant une légère ressemblance avec Yves Bertrand.

After a successful heist, Franck Adrien and his partner are convicted and sent to prison. Adrien is the only one who knows the location of the stash, and he refuses to tell both his wife and his partner. However, despite his initially aloof relationship with Jean-Louis Maurel, Adrien comes to trust his cellmate and saves him from a savage beating by Russian mobsters. When Adrien's former partner puts him in the prison hospital, Maurel visits Adrien. Although Adrien does not trust Maurel enough to reveal the location of his stash, Adrien gives Maurel a hint to pass along to Anna, Adrien's wife, as Maurel is being released early due to his alleged victim recanting her charges of rape.

On the back streets of Chicago, two would-be car thieves walk past a jet black car (a fourth generation Chevrolet Nova), only to turn back a few seconds later to find a new red sports car (a Chevrolet Corvette Z06). As they climb inside they discover the ignition, the handles and every means of escape have instantly vanished, the windows go black around them and their screams are soon cut off. Driving out to the main street, the black car is demolished by a car flying down the road. The people of the second car are severely injured, but the authorities don't find any passengers in the black car and they have it impounded at a police garage. While there, the vehicle miraculously pieces itself together and kills one of the crewmen, Hector by ramming him into an elevator shaft.

Après avoir mis Pauline, riche fille de chef d'entreprise, enceinte, François se retrouve contraint par le père de se marier avec elle, évitant ainsi les ennuis. Ce mariage forcé tourne vite mal : trois mois après, François demande le divorce. Alexis Target, qui travaille sur le chantier de la maison de Pauline, l'entend menacer son mari de mort. Le soir, François meurt dans un accident de voiture. Le jour de l'enterrement, Alexis rejoint Pauline en affirmant qu'il a exaucé son souhait : tuer François.
