THE UNTOUCHABLES
During the peak of Prohibition, young federal agent Eliot Ness (Kevin Costner) is sent to Chicago to put an end to the lucrative and highly illegal liquor empire of notorious gangster Al Capone (Robert De Niro) — using any and all legal means necessary. To do so, Ness assembles a crack team of cops — played by Charles Martin Smith, Andy Garcia and Sean Connery (who won the Academy Award® for Best Supporting Actor for his role as Jim Malone) — but the ensuing battle will test the straight-arrow cop's convictions. Adapted from the 1960s TV series of the same name, itself based on the real Ness' memoirs of his time warring against Capone, THE UNTOUCHABLES is a violent yet often funny ode to the gangster flicks of the '50s featuring impeccable attention to period detail and a soaring, Grammy®-winning score by Ennio Morricone.
