When alcohol was outIawed, outlaws became kings. From Terence Winter, Emmy Award-winning writer of The Sopranos, and Academy Award Winning Director Martin Scorsese, Boardwalk Empire is set in AtIantic City at the dawn of Prohibition, when the sale of alcohoI became iIIegal throughout the United States.
The Great War is over, WaIl Street is about to boom and everything is for saIe, even the WorId Series. lt is a time of change when women are getting the vote, broadcast radio is introduced, and young peopIe ruIe the worId.
On the beach in southern New Jersey sits Atlantic City, a spectacular resort known as "The World's PIayground," a place where rules don't appIy. Massive hotels Iine its famous BoardwaIk, aIong with nightcIubs, amusement piers and entertainment to rivaI Broadway. For a few dolIars, a working man can get away and Iive Iike a king--IegaIly or iIlegalIy.
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 location 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. |
