Storyline
| Plot Summary |
John Gotti, the head of a small New York mafia crew breaks a few of the old family rules. He rises to become the head of the Gambino family and the most well-known mafia boss in America. He is known as the Dapper Don for his expensive taste in suits, and the Teflon Don because none of the FBI charges against him will stick. Life is good, but suspicion creeps in, and greed, rule-breaking and his high public profile all threaten to topple him.

Did You Know?
| Trivia | This was the highest-rated original telefilm in HBO history at that time. The success of the film convinced HBO to cast Dominic Chianese, Vincent Pastore, Tony Sirico, Frank Vincent, and Frank Pellegrino in a series in development called The Sopranos (1999). See more » |
| Goofs | There's a shot of Manhattan, which is supposed to take place in 1973, however we can see a building from the World Financial Center which didn't exist in 1973 and the antenna on top of the north tower of the World Trade Center which wasn't there at the time. This is clearly a shot of the Manhattan skyline as it looked in the mid 1990s. See more » |
