Based on a story by Salvatore Polsi, one of the first crime family members to defect from the Mafia and turn state evidence against John Gotti and the Mafia.

The story of notorious mobster John Gotti's rise to power in 1972, when he assembled members of five warring crime families to pull off the heist of a lifetime. In an era where tensions among gangsters was at an all time high, the only place they could gather in peace was the Sinatra Club. For nearly two decades the streets had been bathed in blood. It was the perfect opportunity for a young unknown to make his move. John Gotti (Danny Nucci) was a gangster with true ambition, and a plan to reunite the most dangerous criminals of his time. Carefully selecting a member of each crime family, he plots to rob an armoured truck of a fortune in silver bullion. If they manage to pull it off, they will all be rich and the criminal underworld will be reunited; if they fail, they will most certainly wind up dead.
