Storyline
The story begins as "Don" Vito Corleone, the head of a New York
Mafia "family", oversees his daughter's wedding. His beloved son
Michael has just come home from the war, but does not intend to become
part of his father's business. Through Michael's life the nature of the
family business becomes clear. The business of the family is just like
the head of the family, kind and benevolent to those who give respect,
but given to ruthless violence whenever anything stands against the
good of the family. Don Vito lives his life in the way of the old
country, but times are changing and some don't want to follow the old
ways and look out for community and "family". An up and coming rival of
the Corleone family wants to start selling drugs in New York, and needs
the Don's influence to further his plan. The clash of the Don's fading
old world values and the new ways will demand a terrible price...
