Edward G. Robinson stars in this classic gangster drama about a man who ruthlessly murders his way to the top, controlling the mob as Little Caesar. Small-time, small-town hood Cesare Enrico “Rico” Bandello (Robinson) vows to rule the rackets and not be “just another mug.” With his friend Joe Massara (Douglas Fairbanks, Jr.), Rico moves to the city, where he uses murder–including the assassination of the police commissioner–to advance rapidly within the mob … until he attempts to take over the entire underworld.
