First broadcast in 1984, The Octopus(La Piovra) was an international phenomenon, running for ten seasons until 2001 and making a star of its lead actor, Michele Placido. This gritty Mafia thriller broke new ground as it explored wars between law enforcement and the global criminal network based in Sicily. The powerful score by Academy Award winning composer Ennio Morricone (Cinema Paradiso, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, The Mission) evokes the saga’s tragic trajectory and the tension of a world fraught with danger.
