Artistic License Martial Arts: Leito makes a big deal about how Damien's technical fighting style is a sign of being an undercover cop and not a street fighter like himself.Apologetic Attacker: Damien excuses himself at knocking Leito off his way to deactivate the bomb.Eventually, they conspire to wipe out everybody living there with a neutron bomb. Anarcho-Tyranny: The French government has given up on trying to police the ghettos (banlieues) because of the massively surging crime rates, allowing gangs to run them while leaving the citizens living there in the crossfire.Though unwilling to trust him, Leito agrees to help Damien find and stop the bomb, but there's far more to this crisis than either of them know. Now with time running out, Damien is ordered to befriend Leito as a guide into the ghetto, which has degraded to an outright war zone in the police's absence. Six months later, an undercover supercop named Damien is given an urgent mission: Taha has stolen a Neutron Bomb which has an automatic timer function engaged and set to detonate in less than 24 hours. Leito murders the police captain in retaliation, and is imprisoned. Leito rescues her, but is arrested by corrupt cops, who surrender his sister to Taha and his gang. After Leito, the hero of the story, steals and destroys a shipment of Taha's drugs, Taha retaliates by kidnapping Leito's sister Lola. Banlieue 13, one of the worst of them, is run by the ruthless crime lord Taha.
In the near future, the worst ghettos ( banlieues) of Paris are literally walled off.
