Gang War in Milan is a 1973 action-thriller film directed by Umberto Lenzi, starring Antonio Sabato, Philippe Leroy and Antonio Casagrande. The movie is set in the criminal underworld of Milan, Italy, and follows the power struggle between two rival factions of organized crime. The film starts with the assassination of one of the biggest mafia bosses in Milan, who leaves behind a power vacuum in the criminal world. This vacuum is quickly filled by two powerful gangs, one headed by Don Vincenzo Moretti (Philippe Leroy), and the other by Don Umberto Lo Presti (Antonio Sabato). The two gangs are bitter rivals and their fight for supremacy soon becomes violent and deadly.

The leader of the Moretti family, Vincenzo, is a suave, sophisticated and ruthless mob boss with a weakness for beautiful women. His gang controls most of the illegal activities in Milan, including prostitution, drugs and arms smuggling. Vincenzo is willing to do whatever it takes to maintain his power and expand his influence, even if it means killing his own family members.

Don Umberto Lo Presti, on the other hand, is a more rugged and traditional gangster who leads a gang of young, tough, and fearless hoodlums. They control most of the street-level criminal activities in Milan, including theft, extortion and racketeering. Don Umberto is a man of integrity and values his family above all else. He is fiercely loyal to his friends and has a good heart.

The movie follows the two gangs as they fight for control of Milan's criminal underworld, with each side resorting to increasingly violent and brutal tactics. We see Vincenzo's men carrying out numerous assassinations and bombings, while Don Umberto's gang responds with daring heists and shootouts.

Apart from the two rival factions, the movie also features a host of other memorable characters, such as a corrupt police chief, a beautiful prostitute and a wise old mob boss who dispenses advice to Don Umberto.

The film's action sequences are impressive, with shootouts, car chases, knife fights and explosions galore. The pacing is fast, with the plot constantly moving forward, keeping the audience engaged throughout.

Notably, Gang War in Milan is a gritty and violent movie, with realistic depictions of the criminal underworld. There are no Hollywood-style heroics or happy endings here. Rather, the film is a raw and unflinching look at the world of organized crime, and the struggles that come with it.

Overall, Gang War in Milan is an excellent example of Italian crime cinema, with strong performances, great action sequences, and a compelling plot. It remains a must-watch for fans of the genre and anyone interested in gritty, realistic portrayals of the criminal underworld.

Gang War in Milan is a 1973 action movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 40 minutes. It has received mostly positive reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 6.5.
