“Three decades of life in the mafia.”
GoodFellas is a 1990 crime drama directed by Martin Scorsese and adapted from a book and true story. Set across three decades, it follows Henry Hill, a half-Irish, half-Sicilian Brooklyn boy who grows up around local gangsters and rises within a Mafia family under the guidance of Jimmy Conway. The film’s setting moves through New York and beyond, reflecting the reach of organized crime in the 1970s and the pressures that shape Hill’s life.
The cast is led by Robert De Niro, Ray Liotta and Joe Pesci. With a running time of 145 minutes, the film was produced in the United States in English and carries an R certification. Its crime-epic scale, prison setting, and focus on drug trafficking and violence place it firmly within the gangster tradition while remaining grounded in biography.
