Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Nada
Based on a Jean-Patrick Manchette novel, NADA, sometimes called "The Nada Gang", is a movie directed by Claude Chabrol in 1974.

A group of anarchists decides to kidnap the U.S. ambassador in Paris. The kidnapping succeeds and they all hide away in a small farm in the countryside. In order to avoid to give explanations to the media about the group's motivations, the politicians order the police to take no prisoners during the final assault.

--Daniel Staebler, Resident Scholar
