As a young boy in Sicily, Vito Corleone witnesses the murder of his family at the hands of a local mafia boss. Years later, he immigrates to New York and becomes involved in organized crime, eventually rising to become the head of the Corleone family.
Meanwhile, in the 1950s, Vito's son Michael is struggling to keep the family business afloat. After an assassination attempt on his life, he decides to take a more ruthless approach, ordering the murders of his enemies and expanding the family's operations into Las Vegas and Cuba.
Along the way, Michael's relationships with his wife, Kay, and his brother, Fredo, begin to unravel. He also faces challenges from rival crime families and internal power struggles within his own organization.
Throughout the film, flashbacks to Vito's early years provide insight into his character and motivations, as well as the origins of the Corleone family's criminal empire. The Godfather: Part II is considered one of the greatest films ever made, and won several Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Supporting Actor for Robert De Niro's portrayal of young Vito Corleone.
