The Red Light Bandit (1968)

In the slums of São Paulo, Jorge’s life is a constant fight for survival until he discovers an unusual talent for robbing luxury homes, earning him the nickname "The Red Light Bandit." The media calls him this because of his signature red flashlight and his bold way of talking to hostages during his daring crimes. He doesn't hesitate to make light of tense situations and execute impressive escapes, using the money to indulge in extravagant experiences that stand in stark contrast to his poor origins. The vibrant, impoverished neighborhood of Boca do Lixo provides the setting for Jorge’s audacious life, a world where crime, indulgence, and dark humor intertwine with deep social inequality.
