How to watch the District B13 movies in order

District B13 introduced the world to parkour-powered action cinema, and between its sequel and Hollywood remake, the franchise is worth watching in order.

Written and produced by Luc Besson and directed by Pierre Morel, District B13 stars parkour pioneer David Belle as Leïto and stuntman Cyril Raffaelli as undercover cop Damien. Set in a walled-off Paris suburb ruled by gangs, the film's breathtaking stunts made it a cult hit. A sequel reunited the duo, and the 2014 remake Brick Mansions moved the story to Detroit with Paul Walker.

🕐 Release Order

Here are all the District B13 films in release order.

  1. District B13 (2004)
  2. District 13: Ultimatum (2009)
  3. Brick Mansions (2014)

Brick Mansions is a remake rather than a sequel, so the original two films form their own continuity.

📖 Story Chronology

District B13 is set in a near-future Paris, Ultimatum picks up a few years later, and Brick Mansions reimagines the original story in a near-future Detroit.

  1. District B13 (2004)
  2. District 13: Ultimatum (2009)
  3. Brick Mansions – remake (2014)

Which Order Should You Choose?

Watch District B13 and Ultimatum in order to enjoy the full Leïto and Damien story with the original stunt team. Brick Mansions is optional, though fans will enjoy seeing David Belle reprise his role and it serves as one of Paul Walker's final films. Whichever version you choose, keep an eye on the opening chase sequences, which are among the most celebrated parkour stunts ever filmed and were performed with minimal wirework or digital trickery.
