The Brotherhood
Honor. Loyalty. Betrayal.
Directed by Martin Ritt
Produced by Paramount Pictures, Brotherhood Company
A dark, introspective crime drama about familial obligation and moral compromise, centered on the tragic collision between a veteran's desire for independence and the inescapable pull of mafia legacy.
The son of a powerful Mafia don comes home from his army service in Vietnam and wants to lead his own life, but family tradition, intrigues and powerplays involving his older brother dictate otherwise, and he finds himself being slowly drawn back into that world.
