Collection of all three movies of the award-winning trilogy 'The
Godfather', directed and co-written by Francis Ford Coppola and
based on the successful novel by Mario Puzo. Beginning with 'The
Godfather' (1972), in late 1940s New York, Mafia 'Godfather' Vito
Corleone (Marlon Brando) gathers his three sons around him for
daughter Connie (Talia Shire)'s wedding; the hot-headed Sonny
(James Caan), ineffectual Fredo (John Cazale) and war hero Michael
(Al Pacino), who chooses to distance himself from the family
'business'. When Vito is shot and wounded for refusing to sanction
a rival family's heroin sales on his territory, Sonny temporarily
takes over and embarks on bloody gang warfare. This results in him
being killed in an ambush, and Michael finds himself nominated to
succeed the ailing Vito. The film won three Academy Awards,
including Best Picture, Best Actor (Brando) and Best Adapted
Screenplay. In 'The Godfather: Part II' (1974), it is 1958 and
Michael has now fully embraced the trappings of a mafia boss,
leading to conflict with his wife, Kay (Diane Keaton). As he
attempts to expand his crime empire, he thinks of his late father
Vito's rise to power in New York during the 1920s, but all of
Michael's attempts to emulate Vito and do the best for his family
only pulls them further apart. Robert De Niro plays the young Vito
in flashbacks to his early life. Both a prequel and sequel to the
first movie, the film was nominated for eleven Oscars, winning five
awards including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Supporting
Actor (De Niro). Finally, in 'The Godfather: Part III' (1990), it
is 1979, and Michael donates $100 million to the Vatican as a
signal that his family intend to go legitimate. Unfortunately, the
hot-headed Vincent Mancini (Andy Garcia), illegitimate son of
Michael's late brother, Sonny, has taken an interest in both
business affairs and Michael's daughter, initiating a violent and
bloody power struggle. The film was nominated for seven Oscars,
including Best Director, Best Picture and Best Cinematography.
