Details

In Prince of the City (1981), a gripping crime thriller directed by Sidney Lumet, we are introduced to a New York City narcotics detective named Daniel Ciello. Reluctantly, Ciello finds himself caught up in a special commission's investigation into police corruption. As he delves deeper into the case, Ciello soon realizes that the situation is far more complex and dangerous than he initially thought.

Ciello becomes torn between his loyalty to the police force and his moral duty to reveal the truth. As he cooperates with the commission, he uncovers a web of deceit, betrayal, and widespread corruption within the ranks of the police department. The deeper Ciello gets, the more he finds that nobody can be trusted, leading to an intense struggle for his own survival.

Prince of the City offers a raw and unflinching look into the gritty underbelly of New York City in the 1980s. Lumet's masterful direction keeps audiences on the edge of their seats, as they navigate a labyrinth of double-crosses, deceit, and political intrigue. With powerful performances by the cast, particularly Treat Williams as Ciello, the film explores themes of loyalty, morality, and the complexity of human nature.

This gripping crime drama will have viewers questioning the very institutions meant to protect them and pondering the lengths one man is willing to go to expose the truth. Prince of the City is a must-watch for fans of gritty crime films and those seeking an intense and thought-provoking cinematic experience.
