Old-fashioned gangster Frank Ginetta welcomes his younger brother Vince into his Mafia syndicate, but the organisation is soon threatened by internal conflicts. Frank's refusal to move with the times earns him several enemies within the crime family, and as the dispute escalates into violence, Vince sides with the modernisers. Crime drama, starring Kirk Douglas, Alex Cord and Irene Papas.

The son of a powerful Mafia don comes home from his army service in Vietnam and wants to lead his own life, but family tradition, intrigues and powerplays involving his older brother dictate otherwise, and he finds himself being slowly drawn back into that world.
