The 1970 French film Le Cercle Rouge is titled The Red Circle in English. Jean-Pierre Melville directed the crime film, which stars Alain Delon, Gian Maria Volonté, and Yves Montand.
The film’s French title means “The Red Circle.” Its plot follows criminals whose paths converge around a planned jewelry robbery, with Melville’s restrained direction emphasizing professional skill, silence, and fate. The title is sometimes confused with films or stories using “Pandora’s Box,” but it has no direct connection to the Greek myth.
This question belongs to the broader Pandora topic through a common naming confusion: “Pandora’s Box” is the English title of several unrelated works, while Le Cercle Rouge has a distinct original and translated title. Identifying the director and release year separates this film from similarly named crime and mythological productions.
