Additional Information
Based on the book 'Wiseguy' by Nicholas Pileggi, 'Goodfellas' follows the career of an ambitious school boy who joins the Mob and becomes a member of the inner sanctum. Full of his own success, he kills the wrong guy and begins to deal in drugs. As a poor Irish-Italian growing up in 1950s New York City, Hill (played by Ray Liotta) rises through the ranks of his Brooklyn neighborhood's organised crime branch, and with money from the Mob he begins living the good life, complete with a beautiful bride, Karen (played by Lorraine Brocco), a fancy home, and the best seats at the most exclusive restaurants. A botched robbery lands Henry in prison for a brief period of time, and when he gets released, his reckless infidelities and drug abuse damage his associations with his adopted family. A violent portrayal of life in the mob.
