They should never have even crossed paths. Their stories should never have become intertwined. Their fates should never have melded into one. But sometimes reality is indeed stranger than fiction. With all the punch and intensity of a dramatic thriller, and the precision and depth of a documentary, Eliot Ness v. Al Capone tells the true story of the battle between the Untouchables and Organized Crime. As it tells the story of these two legendary figures, it also describes the two complementary forces that made modern-day America what it is today.
