The Untouchables

In 1930s Chicago, Special Agent Eliot Ness and his team of elite, uncorrupted agents take on organized crime in a high-stakes battle.

In 1930s Chicago, the Prohibition era fuels the rise of organized crime, with Al Capone as one of its most notorious leaders. Amidst a backdrop of sex, crime, and corruption, people are willing to risk everything to indulge in alcohol, sometimes even their lives. As Special Agent Eliot Ness and his team strive to take down the alcohol Mafia, they find themselves isolated and alone in their mission.
