The Many Saints of Newark

The Many Saints of Newark is a 2021 American crime drama film directed by Alan Taylor and written by David Chase and Lawrence Konner. A prequel to Chase's HBO crime drama series The Sopranos, it takes place during the 1960s and 1970s in Newark, New Jersey. The film follows a violent gang war from the perspectives of mobster Dickie Moltisanti and his teenage nephew, Tony Soprano, in the midst of the city's 1967 riots. It stars Alessandro Nivola as Dickie and Michael Gandolfini as Tony, the character originated by his father in the series, with Leslie Odom Jr., Jon Bernthal, Corey Stoll, Billy Magnussen, Michela De Rossi, John Magaro, Ray Lotta, and Vera Farmiga in supporting roles.
Warner Bros Pictures and New Line Cinema obtained the rights to produce The Many Saints of Newark alongside HBO Films. The film was released on DVD, Blu-Ray and 4K Ultra HD Blu-Ray in the United Kingdom and Ireland on December 13, 2021 by Warner Bros Home Entertainment, and in the United States and Canada on December 21, 2021 by Studio Distribution Services (the home media distribution joint venture between Warner Bros Home Entertainment and Universal Pictures Home Entertainment).

Young Anthony Soprano is growing up in one of the most tumultuous eras in Newark's history, becoming a man just as rival gangsters begin to rise up and challenge the all-powerful DiMeo crime family's hold over the increasingly race-torn city. Caught up in the changing times is the uncle he idolizes, Dickie Moltisanti, who struggles to manage both his professional and personal responsibilities and whose influence over his nephew will help make the impressionable teenager into the all-powerful mob boss we'll later come to know - Tony Soprano.
