In the United States in the 1940s, the “godfather” Vito Corleone (Marlon Brando is acted the role of) is the head of the Mafia Corleone family, leading the family to engage in illegal activities, but at the same time he is also the protection god of many weak civilians, deeply loved by people.
The conflict between the Corleone family and several other Mafia families in New York intensified when the Corleone family refused the drug Lord Soloso’s drug trade demands. On Christmas Eve, Soloso hijacked Tom, the Godfather’s adviser, and sent someone to assassinate the Godfather. Because of the betrayal of the traitor, the eldest son of the “godfather” was killed by the enemy; The youngest son Mike (Al Pacino is acted the role of) is also involved in the loss of his wife. The conflict between the Mafia families is getting more and more intense.
How does the old “godfather” manage the situation in the face of the loss of his son? How does a Mafia vendetta end? Who is the family mole? Who can become the new generation of “godfather”?
Bloodshed and warmth are real in this landmark gangster epic.
