Set against the gritty backdrop of Los Angeles in 1949, "Gangster Squad" unravels the tumultuous era when crime reigned supreme. The city is under the iron-fisted grip of Mickey Cohen, a vicious mobster born in Brooklyn, whose ambitions stretch far and wide. Cohen is not merely a common criminal; he embodies the dark underbelly of organized crime, amassing wealth through illegal drugs, arms trafficking, and the prostitution trade. His reach extends deep into the fabric of the city, encompassing corrupt politicians and police officers who are all too willing to protect his nefarious interests. This web of corruption and fear creates an environment so oppressive that even the most seasoned law enforcement officers find themselves paralyzed by intimidation.
