Boston cop Billy Costigan (Leonardo DiCaprio) goes under
cover to infiltrate the organization of gangland chief Frank
Costello (Jack Nicholson). As Billy gains the mobster's
trust, a career criminal named Colin Sullivan (Matt Damon)
infiltrates the police department and reports on its
activities to his syndicate bosses. When both organizations
learn they have a mole in their midst, Billy and Colin must
figure out each other's identities to save their own lives. |
