Boardwalk Empire begins in Atlantic City in 1920. It is the eve of Prohibition, and county treasurer Enoch "Nucky" Thompson (Steve Buscemi) is looking to cash in. As the undisputed "Boss" of Atlantic City, Nucky leads a double life as a politician and bootlegger ; Prohibition may have outlawed alcohol, but in Nucky's world it has opened up highly lucrative opportunities for gangsters and rumrunners looking to provide "liquid gold" for a thirsty nation. In a city defined by notorious backroom politics and vicious power struggles, Nucky must battle with a relentless federal agent, ambitious underlings, and opportunistic rivals -- including Arnold Rothstein, Lucky Luciano, and Al Capone.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Great show submitted by TLW1998 on August 7, 2019, 8:56pm This is a great series. The characters are interesting, and the acting is excellent. The sets and costumes are fantastic. The dialog is engaging. Steve Buscemi is outstanding as “Nucky" Thompson. I love seeing the little historical details.
