"The Tiger Brigades" ( _fr. Les Brigades du Tigre) is a 2006 French crime film, based on a very successful 1970s-'80s French television series of the same name. The story involves an Untouchables-type crack "Flying Squad" formed by Georges Clemenceau to combat rampant crime in 1912 Paris. The squads became known to the public as "Tiger Brigades", after Clemenceau's nickname "Le Tigre", and were among the first police units to be equipped with automobiles and seriously trained to savate techniques.

Set in a very rich and interesting "Belle Époque", it deals with a lot of real historical plots and characters like the scandal of the Russian Loans, the "Triple Entente", the birth of modern profiling and crime-fighting police techniques, the rivalry between the PP (Parisian Prefecture [Police Units] ) and the Brigades of Clemenceau, the birth of Socialism and famous Anarchist Movements, some corruption affairs etc...
