King of the Roaring 20's – The Story of Arnold Rothstein

  • Log in or register to post comments

Set against the vibrant and tumultuous backdrop of the 1920s in New York, this film tells the story of Arnold Rothstein, a cunning and charismatic gangster who rises to become the king of the city’s underworld. Rothstein, known for his intelligence and ability to manipulate the system, is not only immersed in the world of crime but also dives into the thrilling universe of betting and gambling.

As Prohibition transforms society, Rothstein finds himself navigating between legality and illegality, making connections with other key players in the criminal underworld. His ambition for power and wealth leads him to orchestrate the scandalous fix of the 1919 World Series, a move that will earn him both fame and fierce enemies.

The film explores the complexities of his personal life, including his relationships with notorious figures in crime and his moral dilemmas as he faces the consequences of his actions. Through captivating visual style and an immersive script, the story unfolds the jazz era, extravagant celebrations, and moral decay that so distinctly characterize the 1920s. With a focus on the protagonist’s duality, the narrative reflects on the price of ambition and the fine line between success and ruin in a time marked by corruption and splendor.
