Story
In 'Urgence', Jean-Pierre Mougin, a macho sports reporter with zero tolerance for Nazi hate crimes, becomes embroiled in thwarting a terrorist plot by neo-Nazis to blow up an anti-racist benefit concert. The scheme comes to his attention when he acquires a videotape revealing the plan, which was passed on to him by Max, a man who had accidentally filmed a secret meeting of the terrorists before being chased and shot. Max's sister Lyza/Lisa, who is now targeted by the thugs herself, joins forces with Mougin to prevent the bombing and avenge her brother's death. As time runs out, Mougin rallies sympathetic street gangs to his side as he faces off against crooked cops and ultimately confronts Lucas Schoeder/Murmeau, the leader of the Nazi gang.
