The Godfather
Overview
The Corleone family is one of the most powerful in New York. Don Vito, its wise and influential leader, has always kept everything under control, but tensions between rival mafia clans are escalating. Amid this power struggle, his son Michael, a retired Marine officer, dreams of a life away from the criminal world.
Yet the deeper Michael gets involved in family affairs, the clearer it becomes that escaping is impossible. Each step pulls him further into a world where power is more valuable than life, and family loyalty often comes with a bloody price.
