　　剧情简介：

　　在西西里，少年时代的维托为报父仇，袭击了当地黑手党首领唐·乔奇。在母亲的掩护下，维托得以逃脱，并来到了美国。这已经是1901年的事了，第二代教父回忆起父亲的青年时代，不由得深深感到了创业的艰辛。

　　迈克和妻子凯为儿子托尼举行了圣餐仪式和庆祝活动。但就在当夜，迈克遭到了袭击，凯受了伤。面对接管家族后所遇到的种种困难，迈克又回忆起了父亲唐·维托到美国后的“奋斗”历程。

　　迈克尔一步步进行着复仇。同时他也在不断拓展家族的势力。通过与吉尔参议员勾心斗角的明争暗斗，迈克尔终于又控制住了一家大饭店，并开展了赌博生意。就在迈克尔扩大家族的势力时，一名叫罗斯的黑道人物又闯了进来，企图占领迈克尔的地盘。双方在暗地里展开了较量。迈克尔不满足于在国内已有的势力，他的手又伸到了古巴。然而革命的爆发却使他的计划受到了严重的挫折。

　　罗斯收买了迈克尔的哥哥弗雷多为他提供情报，企图暗杀迈克尔。但迈克尔也已对罗斯采取了暗杀行动。迈克尔含泪处置了弗雷多，却不禁回忆起当年父子兄弟间其乐融融的情景。

　　迈克尔的不法行为终究为他招来了麻烦。政府展开了对他的调查。迈克尔受到了一系列的指控。然而借助权术，迈克尔又一次转危为安，逃脱了法律的制裁。

　　迈克尔成功地对付了政府的调查，但他的妻子凯却再也受不了这种充满了暴力、暗杀和罪恶的生活。她去做了人工流产，含泪离开了迈克尔。

　　亲人的离去和兄长的背叛使迈克尔深受打击。金钱和权势并未给迈克尔带来幸福。他孤独地坐在湖边的住宅外，茫然地望着远方…… 　

　　The continuing saga of the Corleone crime family tells the story of a young Vito Corleone growing up in Sicily and in 1910s New York; and follows Michael Corleone in the 1950s as he attempts to expand the family business into Las Vegas, Hollywood and Cuba.

　　影片片段：

　　Woman: Come on in! It's all right. Come on. Hyman's in there. I was just making some lunch. Would you like a tuna sandwich?

　　Michael: Uh, no, thank you.

　　Michael: Mr. Roth?

　　Mr.Roth: Come in, Michael. Sit down, make yourself comfortable. It's almost over. You follow the football game?

　　Michael: Not for a while I haven't.

　　Mr. Roth: I enjoy watching football in the afternoon. One of the things I love about this country. Baseball too. I love baseball...ever since Arnold Rothstein fixed the World Series in 1919. I heard you had some trouble. Stupid. People behaving like that with guns. The important thing is, you're all right. Good health. The most important thing. More than success. More than money. More than power.

　　Michael: I came here because there's gonna be more bloodshed. I want you to know about this before it happens...so that there's no danger of starting another war.

　　Mr. Roth: Nobody wants another war.

　　Michael: Frank Pentangeli came to my home and he asked my permission...to get rid of the Rosato Brothers. When I refused, he tried to have me killed. He was stupid. I was lucky. I'll visit him soon. The important thing is that nothing interfere...with our plans for the future. Yours and mine.

　　Mr. Roth: Nothing is more important.

　　Michael: Good.

　　Mr. Roth: You're a wise and considerable young man.

　　Michael: And you're a great man, Mr. Roth. There's much I can learn from you.

　　Mr. Roth: Whatever I can do, Michael.

　　Woman: Excuse me. Lunch.

　　Michael: Oh.

　　Woman: Hyman, you're gonna break my eardrums. OK, enjoy it.

　　Mr. Roth: Thanks. You're young and I'm old and sick. What we'll do together in

　　the next few months...will make history, Michael. History. It's never been done before. Not even your father would dream that such a thing could be possible.

　　Michael: And Pentangeli is a dead man. You don't object?

　　Mr. Roth: He's small potatoes.
