In 1978, Judge
Giovanni Falcone, while in
Favignana attending a
mattanza, learns that he has been transferred from the court of
Trapani to that of
Palermo. There, the investigating judge
Gaetano Costa, a friend of Falcone, is assassinated just two months before retirement. After the death of his colleague, Falcone is assigned a bodyguard, Mario Fabbri. In 1984, he interrogates
Tommaso Buscetta. Falcone would then have to fight, alongside his friend and colleague
Paolo Borsellino, against
Totò Riina and
Cosa Nostra, but also against the growing hostility directed at him—even from other magistrates. Both Sicilian judges would lose their lives in two separate attacks, both in 1992. == Cast ==
