Martin Scorsese directs this epic tale of Henry Hill (Ray Liotta), a man who spent 30 years of his life involved with the mob. Robert De Niro stars as Henry's mentor Jimmy and Joe Pesci stars as his psychotic partner Tommy. He starts out involved in petty crime before becoming a 'made guy', one of the most important members of the mafia. But when Henry begins to suspect that both the police and his fellow mobsters want him dead, his life becomes complicated. Very strong violence, with drug use and strong language throughout.
