Cast and Crew of GoodFellas

GoodFellas

Three decades of life in the mafia.

GoodFellas is a classic crime drama directed by Martin Scorsese, based on the true story of Henry Hill, a man who became a gangster at a young age and climbed the ranks of the Mafia. The film features a star-studded cast, including Ray Liotta as Henry Hill and Robert De Niro as his mentor, Jimmy Conway.

The movie begins with Henry as a young boy, growing up in a rough neighborhood in Brooklyn. He is drawn to the glamorous lifestyle of the local gangsters and soon falls under their wing. Under the guidance of Jimmy Conway, a high-ranking member of the Mafia, Henry learns the ins and outs of organized crime, from running illegal gambling operations to carrying out hits on rival gangs.

As Henry rises through the ranks, he becomes increasingly entangled in the dangerous and violent world of the Mafia. He marries a woman from the neighborhood, Karen, and has children, but his loyalty to the Mafia family always comes first. Eventually, Henry's criminal activities catch up with him, and he becomes a target for both the Mafia and the law. The film is a gripping exploration of the allure and danger of the Mafia lifestyle, and the consequences of choosing a life of crime.
