From Terence Winter (Emmy winning writer/Executive Producer on HBO’s The Sopranos) and Martin Scorsese (Oscar-winning director of The Departed), Boardwalk Empire chronicles the life and times of Enoch “Nucky” Thompson (Steve Buscemi), Atlantic City’s undisputed czar at a time when Prohibition proved to be a major catalyst in the rise of organized crime in America.

Equal parts politician and gangster, Nucky and his lieutenants including an ambitious young WWI veteran named Jimmy Darmody (Michael Pitt) ruled during a time when illegal alcohol opened up highly lucrative opportunities for bootleggers and distributers. Because of its proximity to the ocean, Atlantic City was a major hub of activity for rumrunners, including Arnold Rothstein, Lucky Luciano and Al Capone and Nucky did business with them all.

Inspired by portions of the non-fiction book 􏰡Boardwalk Empire: The Birth, High Times and Corruption of Atlantic City by Nelson Johnson, Boardwalk Empire focuses on the inner circle of an underworld icon as he presides over notorious backroom politics, vicious power struggles, a constant onslaught by the Feds, and his own insatiable appetite for women, profits and power.
