Plots(1)
The mob has many faces, but only one man is behind them all. Emigrating to America as a child, the young Meyer Lansky learns to fight with his wits and always comes out on top - and at a profit. Starting with a small gang, Lansky soon becomes a big-time gangster when, at the height of prohibition, he joins Bugsy Siegal and Lucky Luciano in creating a crime "syndicate" organizing and structuring crime to make it as efficient as any other business in America. But this is a business more openly crooked than most - and more violent. In their struggle to take and maintain power, not only would those mobsters outside the syndicate pay a deadly price - but sometimes even those within. (official distributor synopsis)
