What is A Bronx Tale about?

There's only one man who rules the bustling Italian-American neighborhood of the Bronx - mob boss Sonny. When young Calogero's path unexpectedly meets Sonny's, and he witnesses Sonny carrying out a hit, Italian loyalty means Calogero refuses to name Sonny to the cops. Impressed with the Calogero's spirit, Sonny takes the young man under his wing and as he heads deeper into the world of a mobster, his father must try and wrestle him away from a life of crime before his son wastes his talent.
