Synopsis
Confronté de son plus jeune âge à la violence des rues, dans le ghetto juif de New York, Meyer Lansky va gravir toutes les marches du crime organisé, avec habileté et discretion. Dans l’ombre de ses amis célèbres, Bugsy Siegel et Lucky Luciano, il va devenir l’un des personnages chef de la Mafia américaine. De la prohibition des années 20 aux trafics obscurs de la seconde guerre mondiale, Lansky va profiter de toutes les opportunités. Il se dit joueur mais c’est un grand… manipulateur.
