Back of the Box:
    Serpico was based on the true story of a New York policeman who discovers that honesty is not expected to be part of his job. He endures scorn and mistreatment from his fellow cops while attempting to perform his job with integrity. The character of Serpico, combining the best elements of the Establishment and counterculture, is a tour-de-force for Al Pacino. The film is a breathtaking suspense story and a fascinating character study as well as a memorable statement about government's inherent flaws.

Notes:

• This movie is based on the book of the same name by Peter Maas.
• John G. Avildsen was the original director of this movie, but was replaced at the last minute after numerous creative differences between the producer and himself arose.
