Gotti

Gotti was a movie made for TV by HBO in 1996 starring Armand Assante (as the famous Mafia Boss John Gotti) as well as many of the actors who would later play mob men on The Sopranos. The movie begins in the 1970s, and ends in the year 1992 with Gotti's imprisonment. Gotti's association with three mobsters is also highlighted in the film: a father-son like relationship with family Underboss Aniello Dellacroce, his deep but rocky friendship with Gotti crew member and longtime friend Angelo Ruggiero, and the respect and ultimate frustration that he felt for the man who became his underboss, Sammy "The Bull" Gravano. Within the context of Gotti's own career, the film details Gotti's rise within the Gambino crime family's ranks from soldier, then captain ( or capo), and finally, boss. This latter title was achieved through the dramatic hit (murder) of Gambino family boss Paul Castellano in 1985, which is caputred on screen as the climax of the movie. Following the murder of Castellano, the movie concentrates on the legal trials of John Gotti; one for assault, two for Racketeering under the Rico statutes. The movie ends with Gotti's conviction and sentencing to life imprisonment at Marion Federal Penetentiary in the state of Illinois.
