SERPICO was based on the true story of a New York Policeman who discovers that honesty is not expected to be part of this job. He endures scorn and mistreatment from his fellow cops while attempting to perform his job with integrity. The character of Serpico, combining the best elements of the Establishment and counter culture, is a tour-de-force for Al Pachino. The film is a breathtaking suspense story and a fascinating character study as well as a memorable statement about government's inherent flaws. Special features include Serpico from Real to Reel, Inside Serpico, Serpico; Favorite Moments and a Photo Gallery with commentary by Director Sidney Lumet
