Handlung
Chicago, 1929: die Ära der Prohibition. In den Straßen toben blutige Machtkämpfe der Unterwelt. Es geht um illegale Alkohol-Geschäfte, Spielsalons und Bordelle. Die Justiz ist machtlos und die Polizei korrupt. Zwischen den rivalisierenden Banden Al Capones (Jason Robards) und Bugs Morans (Ralph Meeker) kommt es täglich zu Schießereien. Die Auseinandersetzungen kulminieren schließlich am Valentinstag. Vier Killer aus Capones Garde dringen in den Schlupfwinkel der gegnerischen Bande ein und erschießen sieben Männer. 24 Stunden später ist der Teufel los! Chicago erlebt den blutigsten Bandenkrieg in der amerikanischen Kriminalgeschichte...
