Original Official USA Advance Release Movie Poster for the February 10th 2010 Limited theater release of the epic film " A Prophet ". A Prophet (French: Un prophète) is a 2009 French crime film directed by Jacques Audiard. Audiard claims that the film aims at "creating icons, images for people who don't have images, the Arabs in France," though he also had stated that the film "has nothing to do with his vision of society," and is a work of fiction. Sentenced to six years in prison, young man Malik El Djebena (Tahar Rahim) is alone in the world and can neither read nor write. On his arrival at the prison he falls under the sway of a Corsican Mafia group, led by Luciani, who enforce their rule in the prison. Malik toughens himself and wins the confidence of the Corsican group. He follows Luciani's orders to kill prisoner Reyeb. Luciani arranges 12-hour leaves for Malik, in which Luciani sends him on missions, including murder. Malik learns how to read and write, and uses all his intelligence to discreetly develop his own network. His power grows and finally he is no longer on Luciani's side. The film was the submission of France for the 82nd Academy Awards for Best Foreign Film.
