Black Caesar

In this gritty blaxploitation crime drama, Fred Williamson stars as Tommy Gibbs, an African-American mob boss who clashes with rival gangs and his old enemy, dirty cop McKinney. As Gibbs wields a ledger book as leverage in his rise to power, he must also contend with the consequences of his violent ways, including the attempted assassination that leaves him shot and wounded. The film's violent climax features a bloody confrontation between Gibbs and McKinney, but the true ending was lost to general release until it was rediscovered on home video, revealing a shocking and devastating conclusion.
