(1987)
Regisseur:
Brian De PalmaSchauspieler:
Kevin Costner, Sean Connery, Robert De Niro, Charles Martin SmithIm Chicago der 30er Jahre macht der Gangsterboß Al Capone florierende Umsätze mit illegalem Alkohol. Die korrupte Polizei deckt ihn dabei. Eliot Ness, Beamter des Schatzamts, stellt eine kleine Truppe unbestechlicher Mitstreiter zusammen. Besonders der ausgefuchste Polizist Malone hilft dem unerfahrenen Eliot, Al Capone in einem ausgeklügelten Feldzug, den zwei der "Unbestechlichen" nicht überleben, hinter Gitter zu bringen.
Furioser Actionkrimi von Brian De Palma, der seine Geschichte aus der Prohibitionszeit nicht nur atemberaubend spannend inszeniert, sondern auch raffiniert Filmklassiker wie Hitchcocks "Sabotage" und Eisensteins "Panzerkreuzer Potemkin" zitiert.
In the run-up to the 1972 elections, Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward covers what seems to be a minor break-in at the Democratic Party National headquarters. He is surprised to find top lawyers already on the defense case, and the discovery of names and addresses of Republican fund organizers on the accused further arouses his suspicions. The editor of the Post is prepared to run with the story and assigns Woodward and Carl Bernstein to it. They find the trail leading higher and higher in the Republican Party, and eventually into the White House itself.
