Officier Galoup (Denis Lavant) geeft leiding aan een in Afrika gestationeerd Frans vreemdelingenlegioen. Hij heeft een onbezorgd, routineus leven, maar de komst van de veelbelovende, mooie soldaat Sentain wakkert zijn jaloezie aan. Het verhaal is gebaseerd op Herman Melville's 'Billy Budd'.
Nee, helaas is Beau travail nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
