Opis

In the darkest days of World War II, an American Mafioso is the Allies' only hope to tip the scales of victory As the Allies struggle to gain a foothold in Italy in 1943, American gangster Charles "Lucky" Luciano is pulled from his prison cell in New York by the U.S. military and handed a top-secret mission. Lucky must go to Sicily to persuade a distrustful Mafia to revolt against the island's fascist occupiers. If successful, Lucky's mission will pave the way for a full-scale invasion of Italy and aid the advancing Allied forces in breaking Hitler's grip on the nation once and for all. But if he fails, the toll in human blood will be higher than anyone can imagine.
