Synopsis

Francis Ford Coppola's Academy Award-winning masterpiece is set in the 1940's and opens at the lavish wedding of Connie, the daughter of the revered Godfather - Don Corleone, an event where business and pleasure naturally go hand in hand. Depicting the importance of family life in modern society, this classic film is about a father and his sons, and questions of power and succession.
