'''''The Godfather''''' is a series of three films about a fictional [[The Mafia|Mafia]] crime family, the Corleone Family. The first movie came out in 1972, and was based upon Mario Puzo's novel of the same name. It was followed by '''''The Godfather Part II''''' in 1974 and '''''The Godfather Part III''''' in 1990. [[Francis Ford Coppola]] directed the films and scripted them with Puzo. The first two films are widely considered to be among the greatest films of all time.
The plot of the first movie begins in 1945 with Michael Corleone ([[Al Pacino]]), the youngest son of the [[The Don|Don]] of the Family, Vito Corleone ([[Marlon Brando]]), returning from [[World War Two]] and reuniting with his family at his sister Connie's wedding. The good times don't last long, however: shortly after the wedding a captain from a rival crime family tries to interest the Don and his [[Hot-Blooded]] eldest son, Sonny ([[James Caan]]), in the new up and coming moneymaker: heroin. The old fashioned Don is not interested, believing that selling drugs would wreck the political connections vital to the family, but when Sonny shows interest the rival family decides on a new course of action: kill Don Vito, and try to make a bargain with Sonny afterwards.
