About the film
Elite Squad (Portuguese: Tropa de Elite, pronounced [ˈtɾɔpɐ dʒi eˈlitʃi] lit. '"Elite Corps"') is a 2007 Brazilian crime film based on the novel Elite da Tropa by Luiz Eduardo Soares, André Batista, and Rodrigo Pimentel. Directed by José Padilha (from a screenplay by Padilha, Bráulio Mantovani, and Pimentel), the film stars Wagner Moura, Caio Junqueira, and André Ramiro, and tells the story of Roberto Nascimento (Moura), a captain in the Battalion of Special Police Operations who leads a police crackdown on a series of Rio de Janeiro favelas in-preparation for the 1997 Brazilian state visit of Pope John Paul II. Inspired by the Military Police of Rio de Janeiro, and their related arms, Elite Squad is the second feature and first film by Padilha, after the documentary Bus 174 (2002). The film was a box office hit in Brazil and became a cultural phenomenon there.
