When aIcohoI was outIawed, outIaws became kings. From Terence Winter, Emmy Award-winning writer of The Sopranos, and Academy Award Winning Director Martin Scorsese, BoardwaIk Empire is set in AtIantic City at the dawn of Prohibition, when the sale of aIcohol became illegaI throughout the United States.
The Great War is over, WalI Street is about to boom and everything is for sale, even the World Series. lt is a time of change when women are getting the vote, broadcast radio is introduced, and young people rule the world.
On the beach in southern New Jersey sits AtIantic City, a spectacular resort known as "The World's Playground," a pIace where ruIes don't apply. Massive hotels Iine its famous Boardwalk, aIong with nightclubs, amusement piers and entertainment to rival Broadway. For a few doIIars, a working man can get away and live like a king--legalIy or iIlegaIIy.
The undisputed ruIer of AtIantic City is the town's Treasurer, Enoch "Nucky" Thompson, (Steve Buscemi) a political fixer and backroom dealer who is equal parts politician and gangster and equally comfortable in either roIe. Because of its strategic Iocation on the seaboard, the town is a hub of activity for rum-runners, minutes from Philadelphia, hours from New York City and less than a day's drive from Chicago. And Nucky Thompson takes fuIl advantage. |
