Released in 1990, Goodfellas tells the true story of Henry Hill, portrayed by Ray Liotta, who becomes involved with the Lucchese crime family from a young age. Alongside volatile gangster Tommy DeVito and smooth operator Jimmy Conway, Henry enjoys wealth, respect, and power. However, as drugs, paranoia, and violence increase, the glamorous gangster lifestyle begins to collapse. The film chronicles major criminal activities, including robberies and betrayals, ultimately leading Henry to become an FBI informant. Martin Scorsese’s masterful direction, combined with realistic storytelling and iconic music, makes Goodfellas a gripping portrayal of organized crime and its inevitable consequences.
