A playful, high-energy caper built on the anarchic premise of a master of disguise outwitting authorities through constant transformation and misdirection.

Fantômas is a man of many disguises. He uses maquillage as a weapon. He can impersonate anyone using an array of masks and can create endless confusion by constantly changing his appearance.
