Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Sammy 'The Bull' Gravano was mafiosi. He started out as a soldier, but his talent for murder, including the slayings of his best friends, his wife's brother and his own boss, Paul Castellano, saw him rise to under-boss in the Gambino crime family. However, betrayals within the family saw him break the code of silence and became the highest ranking member of the mob to turn into a rat - 'a rat in a suit,- assisting the government to finally put away the Teflon Don, John Gotti.

Did You Know?
| Trivia | Vincent Pastore, who plays Mikey De Batt, is introduced to Angelo Ruggiero, played by Johnny Williams. In Gotti (1996) Pastore plays Angelo Ruggiero. In Gotti (2018) De Batt is only mentioned, not seen. See more » |
| Goofs | The building purporting to be Sparks Steak House on E.46th is completely unlike the real place. Also the longer street shot which shows Grand Central Station appears to be the view from Park Avenue, not E.46th Street. See more » |
