Synopsis:
In the 1970s the crime film flourished in Italy as the country went through years of political and social unrest, the so-called 'Years of Lead'. Italian movie producers would capitalize on these times by producing cheap, violent movies about the country's organized crime and corruption, establishing the genre of the poliziotteschi . One of the most celebrated poliziottesco directors was Fernando Di Leo, a director as concerned with telling entertaining stories as he was with creating socially relevant backdrops. In Di Leo's The Boss , Henry Silva plays mob enforcer Nick Lanzetta, who assassinates key members of a rival gang in order to put his boss in a position to seize power. However, one surviving member of the gang, Cocchi (Pier Paolo Capponi, The Cat o' Nine Tails ) plots his revenge involving corrupt cop Torri (Gianni Garko, If You Meet Sartana Pray For Your Death ), leading to a bloody series of double -crosses and power plays to find who will ultimately become the boss.
