A gritty biographical crime drama tracing Lucky Luciano's rise to Mafia dominance through violence and political maneuvering, set against mid-20th century organized crime.
Lucky Luciano is one of the bosses of the Mafia. He orders the slaughter of 40 other responsibles, therefore becoming the only boss. But a few years later he is put into jail. In 1946, he got a pardon and is sent back to Sicilia. There, he begins becoming one of the chief of the Mafia. The US Army seems to refrain from interfering.
