Yamakasi - Les samouraïs des temps modernes is a 2001 French movie written by Luc Besson. It demonstrates the skills of the Yamakasi, a group of traceurs who battle against injustice in the Paris ghetto. They use parkour to steal from the rich in order to pay off medical bills for a kid injured copying their techniques.
This film is a visceral rush of urban acrobatics and defiant energy. It feels like a raw, kinetic chase through the heart of Paris, fueled by adrenaline and a sense of righteous rebellion against the system.
