Step into the ring with Jo Cavalier, a French boxer with a heart of gold in "Ace of Aces" (1982). Set against the backdrop of Hitler's Germany during the Olympics, Jo finds himself in a high-stakes situation when he crosses paths with a young Jewish orphan, Simon Rosenblum. What starts as a simple autograph request quickly spirals into a daring mission to save Simon and his family from persecution.

Joined by an unlikely ally, a German officer with a shared history from World War I, Jo embarks on a thrilling escape to Switzerland, with Nazi troops hot on their trail. As they navigate treacherous obstacles and face impossible odds, the tension rises to a fever pitch in this roller coaster-style action comedy. Will Jo's Olympic dreams take a backseat to the ultimate test of courage and friendship? Find out in "Ace of Aces" - a tale of bravery, sacrifice, and the enduring power of human connection.
