American Gangster(2000)

American Gangster is a series exploring the violent underworld of Prohibition-era America. By the mid-1920s, Chicago alone harbored roughly 1,300 gangs, and the nation recorded over 12,000 murders annually. Bootlegging fueled the Roaring Twenties, but so did bank robbery, kidnapping, auto theft, gambling, and drug trafficking. The series examines how figures like Al Capone rose to dominance, reshaping American culture and leaving an indelible mark on the nation's criminal history. Through their stories, American Gangster reveals how organized crime became woven into the fabric of American society during this turbulent decade.
