- Synopsis:
Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino are 'excellent cadavers' - a Sicilian term to distinguish the assassinations of important political figures from the hundreds of ordinary people killed by the Mafia. These two courageous prosecutors risked their careers and lives to bring the Cosa Nostra to justice, and their deaths galvanised the Sicilian government into destroying the Mob once and for all. Aided by 'mafioso' turned informant Tommasso Buscetta, the legendary 'Godfather of Two Worlds' extradited from Brazil, their crusade culminated in the greatest Mafia trial in history, at which 475 men were indicted. This is a portrait of two tragic heroes who in life combated a violent subculture rampant with corruption, and in death exerted their greatest influence. - Actors:
