The Godfather

Don Vito Corleone, the aging patriarch of a powerful New York mafia family, presides over his daughter's wedding. His youngest son, Michael, a decorated war hero, wishes to distance himself from the family's criminal dealings. However, when a drug dealer named Sollozzo seeks the Don's protection to push narcotics, Vito refuses, igniting a violent conflict. A failed assassination attempt on Vito forces Michael to step in and defend the family.

The story chronicles the rise of Vito Corleone from a young boy in Sicily, where his family is murdered by a local mafia Don, to becoming one of the most powerful crime lords in 1920s New York. After escaping to America, Vito slowly builds his criminal empire, earning respect and fear along the way. Meanwhile, in the 1950s, his son Michael takes control of the family’s operations, ruthlessly expanding their influence.

After several years in charge of the mafia family, Michael Corleone looks for a worthy successor to take his throne when the time comes. But escape his sins won't be easy. A fitting conclusion to one of the greatest trilogies in cinema history that you must see, with spectacular acting and masterful direction from Francis Ford Coppola.
