The old TV series gets a lavish, big-screen treatment at the hands of director Brian DePalma. Lush sets evoke Prohibition-era Chicago as that knight-in-Federal Agent's-clothing Eliot Ness attempts to stamp out the forces of evil embodied by gangster Al Capone. Ness and his crew of law enforcers -- a veteran cop, a young rookie and a tax accountant -- battle Capone's bootleggers in a cavalcade of elaborately choreographed action sequences, including De Palma's now-infamous homage to the Odessa Steps passage in "Potemkin."
