This is a mafia movie adapted from real events. On September 4, 1980, the mafia leaders met in Stefano Bontad’s villa. The old mafia and the new Corleone family discussed how to divide heroin. market. Busida, who is on the run and known as the "boss of the two worlds", also appeared at this gathering. Although he has a certain degree of influence, he is not enough to participate in the meeting. When the time came in December, the Corleone family launched an attack on the old Mafia, and various assassinations and assassinations emerged one after another. Tano came to Brazil hoping that Busida could return to Palermo and Contono to join forces to retaliate against the Corleone family, but he did not immediately agree. During an operation by the Brazilian military and police, Busida was arrested in a house. After a torture, Busida was extradited to Italy in 1984 and met Judge Giovanni Falco. After a conversation Busida decided to cooperate with Falco, and Contono soon chose to cooperate.
Busida and Contono exposed the Mafia Committee and became a traitor to the Mafia. For this reason, Busida’s family members who did not participate in the Mafia were also assassinated, and his relatives and friends also drew a clear line with him. The trial of the Mafia began in 1986. The defendants were full of ugliness in court. Some had their mouths sealed, some had epilepsy, and some were naked. The purpose was to refuse to cooperate. When Busida first appeared in court, the defendants wanted to cross-interrogate him to prove Busida was wrong and a liar. But when the first round of cross-interrogation ended, they all chose to be silent, and everyone else refused the next cross-interrogation because they could not refute him. After attending the court, Busida and Contono were escorted to the United States to accept the witness protection plan. When Busida, who was in the United States, learned that Judge Falco had died in the bombing attack, he decided to go to Italy and continue to appear in court to expose the Mafia.
Sooner or later, he has to pay back when he comes out. Although Busida is not a good person, he has also killed people and trafficked drugs, but because of his revelation, 366 "cosa nostra" were arrested, and the bosses are also serving their sentences in their respective prisons. Or die. Of course Busida also paid the price. His two sons were brutally killed by the Mafia because of him. His third wife is still under witness protection and cannot be herself. Falco's death in the attack also tells us that the road to justice is not easy, and the road to justice is always full of thorns.
