Synopsis: Loosely inspired by the life of Lucio Urtubia, and with fictionalized elements, A Man of Action explores the figure of the so-called anarchist 'Robin Hood,' who ran a legendary counterfeiting operation in Paris that put him in the crosshairs of America's largest bank, when he managed to obtain a huge amount of money by forging traveler's checks to invest in causes he believed in. A Man of Action is a fast-paced film spanning five decades, from the 1940s to the 1980s, in which we follow in Lucio's footsteps as part of the European anarchist movement, from his humble beginnings as a bricklayer turned bank robber, to taking the lead in one of the most important economic shenanigans of the last century. But Lucio will have to choose between the anarchist cause and protecting his own.
