Baker Street. She targets a roomful of safe deposit boxes
worth millions in cash and jewelry. But Terry and his crew

secrets - secrets that will thrust them into a deadly web of
corruption and illicit scandal.
A BRONX TALE
Gangster Sonny is the big man in the Bronx neighborhood of
an Italian small boy named Calogero. A shooting witnessed by
the boy (nicknamed C) is the starting point of a lasting bond
between the gangster and the boy. Father (bus driver
Lorenzo), however, disapproves. C grows up under the wing
of both men, torn between his own natural honesty and his
fascination with Sonny. C's neighborhood cronies get involved
in theft, use of guns, and racial fights. When C falls for an
African American girl, things don't get any easier. C's leap to
manhood is marked by tragedy, but also by his recognition of
the many faces of love.
CASINO
This Martin Scorsese film depicts the Janus-like quality of Las
Vegas--it has a glittering, glamorous face, as well as a brutal, cruel
one. Ace Rothstein and Nicky Santoro, mobsters who move to Las
Vegas to make their mark, live and work in this paradoxical world.
Seen through their eyes, each as a foil to the other, the details of
mob involvement in the casinos of the 1970's and '80's are
revealed. Ace is the smooth operator of the Tangiers casino, while
Nicky is his boyhood friend and tough strongman, robbing and
shaking down the locals. However, they each have a tragic flaw--
Ace falls in love with a hustler, Ginger, and Nicky falls into an ever-
deepening spiral of drugs and violence.

2. Similarities:
Murder: On purpose and planned, or mass murder. This is involved
in all four films. For example in “The Godfather” it involves murder
and revenge.
In “The Bank Job” during the synopsis it reveals there is a “deadly”
web of corruption, connoting death is involved, as it is “deadly”.
In “A Bronx Tale” in the synopsis there is a “shooting” and
“tragedy”.
In “Casino” this is described as having a “brutal” and “cruel”
storyline, this reveals conflict between characters will be involved
and death is likely.
This is involved in the synopsis for these films as their target
audience will want action involved and will want organized crime to
be involved, as it is an expectation in this genre of films
(crime/drama) Murder is wanted by the audience as conflict is
exciting to watch and this will attract the audience by involving it in
the synopsis.
