In the criminal underworld of Rome, Gardenia (Franco Califano) reigns as a suave and respected figure within the city’s organized crime scene. But when a powerful new drug syndicate muscles in on his territory, the old-school gangster is forced to fight back — igniting a brutal war for control of the streets. Torn between loyalty, pride, and survival, Gardenia must decide how far he’ll go to protect his empire and his code.

Stylish, gritty, and soaked in late-’70s atmosphere, Gardenia: Il giustiziere della mala blends crime drama, revenge thriller, and Euro-cult cool into a hard-hitting slice of Italian underworld cinema — complete with a pulsing soundtrack and unforgettable performances.
