The story of the Corleone family and their vengeful wrongdoings continue in the hit family-crime film The Godfather: Part II. Told in dual timelines, Sicilian-born Vito Corleone's (Robert De Niro) 1901 journey to New York and how he rose to mob royalty is interspersed throughout. Meanwhile, roughly half a century in the future, Michael (Al Pacino) goes on a binge, expanding the family business on their home turf as well as in Las Vegas, Hollywood, and Cuba. All goes successful until Michael is the victim of an attempted assassination in his own home. Enraged, he sets forth to find the person responsible, which he believes to be a traitor among the Corleone family business. On New Year's Eve, everything comes to a head when Michael corners his brother Fredo and unveils that he knows of his disloyalty to him and the business. His confession is sealed with a New Year's Eve kiss.
