See the films the platforms disagree about most →The parallel stories of a young Vito Corleone's rise to power in early 20th-century New York City and his son Michael's expansion of the family business in the 1950s are interwoven. Michael's attempts to legitimize the family's empire are undermined by betrayals and his own increasing isolation and ruthlessness.
