The Original Classic as never seen before. The incredible cast includes Al
Pacino, Robert Duvall, Marlon Brando, James Caan and Diane Keaton.
Regarded as one of the best films ever by the American Film Institute,
Francis Ford Coppola's epic masterpiece features Marlon Brando in his Oscar
winning role as the patriarch of the Corleone family.
The Godfather is a violent and chilling portrait of the Sicilian
family's struggle to stay in power in a post war America of corruption, deceit
and betrayal. Coppola begins his legendary trilogy, masterfully balancing the
story of the Corleones family life and the ugly crime business in which they are
engaged. Based on Mario Puzos best selling novel and featuring career making
performances by Al Pacino, James Caan and Robert Duvall, this searing and
brilliant film garnered ten Academy Award nominations, and won three including
Best Picture of 1972.
