The plot of Le Convoyeur concerns protagonist H, who works as a cash truck driver, transporting millions of dollars around Los Angeles on a daily basis.

Speaking of the new project, Ritchie says: “I’m looking forward to bringing this story to life and working with Jason while he still has the use of his knees.”
