Crimson Rivers II: Angels of the Apocalypse (French: Les Rivières pourpres II: Les Anges de l'apocalypse) is a 2004 action thriller film movie starring Jean Reno, Benoît Magimel, and Christopher Lee. It is directed by Olivier Dahan and produced by Ilan Goldman, and is an international co-production of France, Italy and the United Kingdom. It is the sequel to the 2000 film The Crimson Rivers (French: Les Rivières pourpres). However, the 2000 film's creator Jean-Christophe Grangé wasn't creatively-involved in the sequel; instead, the movie was written by Luc Besson, whose company EuropaCorp also co-produced this movie.

Plot

After a body is found in the walls of a French monastery, Commissaire Niemans, played by Jean Reno, teams up with Detective Reda, played by Benoît Magimel, who is already investigating a murder of his own. As with the first movie, the pair's investigations intertwine and soon they are looking at a giant conspiracy involving a secretive group of monks on amphetamines led by Heinrich von Garten, played by Christopher Lee, searching for a treasure hidden by King Lothair II somewhere near the Maginot-Line. Reno and Magimel are joined by a religious specialist called Marie, played by Camille Natta.
