Synopsis:

Crime pays.

They started as young hoods in the slums of New York. They wound up absolute rulers of a kingdom made of liquor, loan sharking, gambling and extortion. Meet Charlie "Lucky" Luciano, Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel and Meyer Lansky, three ruthless businessmen who transformed a local gang of street toughs into a national syndicate of vice, crime, and corruption. Told through vintage newsreel footage, rare archival photos and the explosive words of the gangsters themselves, this is an informative behind-the-scenes look at one of the greatest success stories of the 20th century, a nightmarish twist on the American dream. Narrated by Dennis Farina.
