The Godfather Part II

Synopsis

Al Pacino returns in this sequel about the American Dream’s dark side as mafia chief Michael Corleone – a performance praised as one of the best of all-time. Widely hailed as equal to or even better than the original, the drama chronicles Michael’s continued moral downfall as he tries in the ‘50s to expand the family’s crime business by gaining control of another Las Vegas casino, turning loved ones against him in the process. This is set against the rise to power of his father Vito (Robert De Niro), shown in flashbacks as he flees to New York from Sicily after his parents are murdered, and founds the Corleone gangster dynasty.
