In the early 1980s, an all-out war rages between Sicilian Mafia bosses. Tommaso Buscetta escapes to Brazil with his family, but even there, no one is safe from the long arm of the Cosa Nostra. Back in Italy, scores are being settled, and Buscetta’s allies are killed off, one after another. Arrested and then extradited by the Brazilian police, Buscetta makes a decision that will change the entire story of the Mafia. Marco Bellocchio’s biopic is based on the story of the real Tommaso Buscetta, who was the first to break the Mafia’s vow of silence. Several hundred members of the crime ring were accused and sentenced between 1986 and 1992, which made their trials to a milestone in the battle against the Mafia. Police security was legendary — but what is secure when one takes on one of the most powerful criminal organizations in existence?
