Five brothers move north with their mother to Milan, finding fame in the boxing ring and love in the same woman. Labeled by Scorsese as “one of the most sumptuous black-and-white pictures,” this is a timeless story of modernity, class tension, and family drama by director Luchino Visconti and staring Alain Delon.

Duke Cesare Borgia attempts to marry his sister off to the heir of Ferrers, which would give him control over a wider part of Italy. He employs a soldier, Andrea Orsini (his sister's lover and an unscrupulous man) on this quest. En route, Orisini learns a more honorable way of life and turns against the Borgias and leads a revolt against them.
