Crime drama, written by David Mamet and starring
Kevin Costner
Sean Connery Robert De Niro
Andy Garcia
A tough team of investigators, led by determined young federal agent Eliot Ness , risks everything to stop mafia kingpin Al Capone 's violent reign of terror in Chicago during the Prohibition era of the 1920s, with corrupt colleagues placing additional barriers in their way. The film, which strays some way from real-life events, was inspired by the 60s television series of the same name. Sean Connery won a best supporting actor
Academy Award for his role as veteran Irish cop Jim Malone , who adds some worldly wisdom to Ness's youthful vigour. The film features a score by Ennio Morricone and was directed by Brian De Palma , who made
Carrie, Bonfire of the Vanities and Casualties of War.
