Synopsis

That Man from Rio (L’Homme de Rio) is a James-Bond type film starring Adrien Dufourquet (Jean-Paul Belmondo) and Agnes Villermosa as the main characters.
Adrien is a young soldier who wants to spend his 8-day holiday leave in Paris to see his fiancée. Unfortunately things quickly change as two South American Indians steal an Amazon statuette from a museum and kidnap Professor Catalan, the curator, forcing him into their car. Catalan was Agnès' father's companion on an Amazon expedition during which her father died. According to Catalan this statuette, along with two others are the keys to an ancient Amazon treasure. Agnes is the only one who knows where the other statuettes are hidden. The Indians drug her and take her to Brazil in an effort to find them.
It’s the start of an extravagant adventure for Adrien who follows them in the plane. From Rio to Brasilia Adrien gets involved in a risky business to save his fiancée, Catalan and this precious treasure.
