Years later, Champion is a young man whose life is completely dictated by his training schedule. During a contest leading up to the big race, however, Champion and two other bikers are kidnapped by several mafia goons. When his grandmother learns of that, she and Bruno set out on a rescue mission that eventually leads them to the metropolis of Belleville.
It's there that they meet the legendary performing troupe, The Triplets of Belleville, a trio of elderly and eccentric sisters who were big in the '30s. With their aid, Madame Souza attempts to rescue her grandson from the clutches of the Mafioso who's using him and others for his own financial gain.
Some mafia types kidnap some cyclists and then try to shoot and kill them and their rescuers, while some characters strike others. Some of those goons end up being injured or killed during such scenes (no blood or gore). Such characters obviously have bad attitudes and some of those scenes might possibly be unsettling or suspenseful to sensitive or very young viewers, but this isn't a film for kids.
Various characters drink and/or smoke, while some imitative behavior and several instances of crude humor are present. Should you still be concerned about the film's appropriateness for yourself or anyone else in your home, you may want to look more closely at our detailed listings for more specific information regarding the film's content.
For those concerned with flashes of the light on the screen, some of that occurs during a nighttime thunderstorm at sea.
