Storyline

Frank Serpico tells the story of his one-man crusade for police reform in the NYPD during the early 1970s. In play at John jay college of criminal justice re:Thomas Beckett serpico played a tempter to the soon to be fallen becket for his unwavering religious convictions may have propelled serpico to face certain danger and even death which Beckett did not escape — danhiggins-39565 In the early 1970s, one man stood up to the entire New York City police force. Hailed as a hero by many, hated by others, officer Frank Serpico made headlines when he blew the whistle on a culture of bribery and corruption within the department. His one-man crusade for police reform inspired the Al Pacino classic that bears his name, but the real life saga is as gripping as anything Hollywood could dream up. Now, Serpico tells his story in his own words: from his Italian-American roots in Brooklyn to his disillusionment with the NYPD to his riveting account of a dramatic drug bust -- and possible set-up -- that ended with him being shot in the face. Featuring music by Jack White and interviews with Serpico's associates and admirers -- including Luc Sante and John Turturro -- this is an inspiring, all-access portrait of a courageous man who refused to betray his ideals. — IFC Films
