The Godfather Trilogy [Blu-ray / 4K Ultra HD Boxset]
Collection of all three movies from the award-winning trilogy directed by Francis Ford Coppola and based on the novel by Mario Puzo. In ‘The Godfather’ (1972) mafia kingpin Vito Corleone (Marlon Brando) gathers his three sons for daughter Connie (Talia Shire)’s wedding; the hot-headed Sonny (James Caan), ineffectual Fredo (John Cazale) and war hero Michael (Al Pacino), who chooses to distance himself from the family business. When Vito is shot and wounded for refusing to sanction a rival family’s heroin sales on his territory, Sonny temporarily takes over and embarks on bloody gang warfare.
This results in him being killed in an ambush, and Michael finds himself nominated to succeed the ailing Vito. In ‘The Godfather: Part II’ (1974) it is 1958 and Michael has now fully embraced the trappings of a mafia boss, leading to conflict with his wife, Kay (Diane Keaton). As he attempts to expand his criminal empire, he thinks of his late father Vito (Robert De Niro)’s rise to power in New York during the 1920s, but all of Michael’s attempts to emulate Vito and do the best for his family only pulls them further apart.
Finally, in ‘Mario Puzo’s the Godfather Coda – The Death of Michael Corleone’ (1990) it is 1979, and Michael donates $100 million to the Vatican as a signal that his family intend to go legitimate. Unfortunately, the hot-headed Vincent Mancini (Andy Garcia), illegitimate son of Michael’s late brother, Sonny, has taken an interest in both business affairs and Michael’s daughter, initiating a violent and bloody power struggle.
