Young Anthony Soprano is growing up in one of the most tumultuous eras in Newark's history, becoming a man just as rival gangsters begin to rise up and challenge the all-powerful DiMeo crime family's hold over the increasingly race-torn city. Caught up in the changing times is the uncle he idolises, Dickie Moltisanti, who struggles to manage both his professional and personal responsibilities. Featuring James Gandolfini's son Michael in the starring role, the much-anticipated feature film prequel to David Chase's groundbreaking, award-winning television series tells the story of how an impressionable teenager grew up to become the all-powerful mob boss the world will later come to know: Tony Soprano.
