In 1978, the US government waged a war against organized crime. One man was left behind the lines.

New York, 1977. An undercover FBI agent named Joe Pistone (Johnny Depp) infiltrates the mob by posing as a jewel thief called Donnie Brasco, winning the trust of Lefty Ruggiero (Al Pacino), a street-level wise guy hungry for respect. Mike Newell's film watches these two men build a friendship that deepens even as Joe's deception tightens around them both. The closer Donnie gets to Lefty, the more Joe stands to destroy him.
