Black US youth grows up to be a gangster, eventually wiping out the leaders of the mafia, making him absolute ruler of the underworld. But pretty soon Black Caesar's enemies catch up, eliminate his loyal gang members and move in for their revenge.
An interesting tale of how environment shapes (and damages) morality, excellently played and scripted.
Most importantly - the soundtrack is James Brown's Black Caesar album! You've heard the record, now see it with pictures! Hearing the music in the film reminds you just how good the music is. Lyn Collin's 'Mama Feelgood' anyone?. Oh yes! Extra heavyweight funk alert.
