Al Capone: The Rise and Fall of Chicago’s Most Notorious Gangster || Full Documentary || History

This documentary delves into the life of Al Capone, the infamous mobster who rose to power during the Prohibition era, becoming one of the most feared and influential figures in Chicago's criminal underworld. From his early days as a young enforcer in New York under Frankie Yale, Capone's journey is marked by violence, cunning, and an insatiable thirst for power.

Capone's ascension begins with his move to Chicago, where he quickly establishes himself under the mentorship of Johnny Torrio. Following Torrio's retirement, Capone takes control, expanding his bootlegging operations and dominating the city’s illicit trade. His reign, however, is plagued by constant rivalries and brutal gang wars, most notably with the North Siders led by ‘Bugs’ Moran. The infamous St. Valentine’s Day Massacre epitomizes the bloody struggle for supremacy, showcasing Capone's ruthless approach to eliminating threats.

Despite his criminal success, Capone's life is fraught with legal troubles. His arrest in Philadelphia for carrying a concealed weapon marks the beginning of his downfall. The relentless efforts of Eliot Ness and the Internal Revenue Service to dismantle Capone’s empire culminate in his conviction for tax evasion. Sentenced to eleven years in prison, Capone's influence wanes as he endures the harsh conditions of Alcatraz.

After his release, a weakened and ailing Capone spends his final years at his Palm Island estate in Florida. Paranoia and declining health plague his last days, culminating in his death in 1947. Capone’s funeral is a modest affair, reflecting the stark contrast between his once-mighty empire and his lonely demise.

This documentary paints a vivid portrait of Al Capone's life, capturing the complexity of a man who was both a ruthless criminal and a masterful strategist, whose legacy continues to intrigue and terrify.
