The Untouchables

Brian De Palma, 1987

Film Description

Kevin Costner stars as Eliot Ness, an idealistic Treasury official who vows to bring an end to Al Capone's (Robert De Niro) corrupt hold over Prohibition-era Chicago. To this end, Ness puts together an elite team of law-enforcement officers (played by Sean Connery, Andy Garcia and Charles Martin Smith), and begins making bold strikes at Capone's bootlegging operation. Nevertheless, Capone's empire continues to thrive, and Ness realises that he must try a different approach.

One of the first of the big budget revamps of old US TV fare and a change of direction for director De Palma, The Untouchables is stylish, audacious and craftily made. With an Oscar winning comeback performance from Sean Connery, a David Mamet script and a witty reference to the Odessa Steps sequence in 'Battleship Potemkin,' it is one of the few classic films of the eighties.
