The movie "The Untouchables" (1987) is a classic of the genre by great director Brian De Palma. The plot is based on a true story about the struggle between FBI agents and the criminal network of Al Capone, though it of course takes liberties with certain events.
Kevin Costner plays the main role in the movie, and Sean Connery plays an older cop who helps the protagonist in his battle against the mafia. The actor was awarded the "Oscar" for Best Supporting Actor. Critics wrote that he "pulled the blanket over himself" and was much brighter than his colleagues.
