The Octopus (La Piovra) was a global hit that ran from 1984 to 2001 and made a star of Michele Placido. This epic Mafia thriller explores the criminal culture that extends its tentacles into all of society and features a powerful and evocative score by Academy award winning composer Ennio Morricone. Corrado Cattani is a police inspector whose life is devoted to fighting the Italian mafia (known here as “La Piovra” or “The Octopus”). Even as his family and life are being destroyed by ruthless criminals, the intrepid comissar keeps fighting.
