The Godfather is a 1972 crime film directed and co-written by Francis Ford Coppola, based on the novel of the same name authored by the screenplay's co-writer Mario Puzo. The film starred Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, Robert Duvall, Diane Keaton, and James Caan. The film was subsequently followed by The Godfather Part II in 1974 and The Godfather Part III in 1990.
The film's story spans nine years from late 1945 to late 1954, as the leader of a New York Mafia organization hands his family business over to his reluctant son. It is ranked as the third best American film in history by the American Film Institute, and it is one of only two movies with a rating of 9.1 out of 10 (the other being The Shawshank Redemption) on the Internet Movie Database's Top 250 list. It is also the number one movie on Metacritic's top 100 list.
