THE
GODFATHER
tells
an
epic
tale
of
Mafia
life
in
America
during
the
1940s
and
1950s.
Vito
Corleone
(Marlon
Brando)
is
the
family
patriarch
balancing
a
love
of
his
family
with
an
ambitious
criminal
instinct.
At
the
wedding
of
the
Don's
daughter
Connie
(Talia
Shire),
youngest
son
Michael
(Al
Pacino)
is
reunited
with
his
family.
A
subsequent
assassination
attempt
leaves
the
Don
too
ill
to
run
the
family
business,
forcing
Michael
and
Sonny
(James
Caan),
with
the
help
of
consigliere
Tom
Hagen
(Robert
Duvall),
to
lead
the
Corleones
into
a
vendetta-filled
war
with
other
mob
families.
Violent
revenge
ensues
as
the
family
tries
to
change
from
its
old
criminal
ways
into
legitimacy.
Coppola's
certified
masterpiece,
which
won
three
Oscars
(including
Best
Picture)
and
spawned
an
Oscar-winning
sequel
(THE
GODFATHER
PART
II),
set
a
new
screen
standard
for
merging
blood-soaked
violence
with
intimate
family
drama.
In
the
process,
Coppola
single-handedly
established
the
Mafia
as
an
industry
in
film
and
television
(GOODFELLAS,
THE
SOPRANOS).
Featuring
truly
unforgettable
performances,
including
the
Best
Actor-winning
Brando,
the
riveting
Pacino,
and
an
unexpectedly
dramatic
Diane
Keaton,
THE
GODFATHER
is
the
pinnacle
of
Hollywood
cinema
in
the
1970s.
