The Godfather

“An offer you can't refuse.”

Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) wants to protect his family's empire, but his father Don Vito (Marlon Brando) is aging and his brother Sonny (James Caan) draws the wrong kind of attention. When a war erupts between the five crime families of New York, Michael finds himself pulled deeper into the business than he ever intended. Coppola shoots the violence and the quiet moments with the same weight, making the whole thing feel inevitable.
