Which 1990 biographical crime film about Henry Hill stars Ray Liotta?

The 1990 biographical crime film about Henry Hill starring Ray Liotta is Goodfellas. Directed by Martin Scorsese, the film traces Hill’s rise through organized crime and his eventual collapse under pressure from violence, drugs, and law enforcement.

Goodfellas was adapted from Nicholas Pileggi’s 1985 nonfiction book Wiseguy: Life in a Mafia Family. Liotta plays Hill, while Robert De Niro portrays Jimmy Conway and Joe Pesci plays Tommy DeVito. Although the film uses fictionalized names and dramatized scenes, its central story is based on Hill’s life and his involvement with the Lucchese crime family.

The film is often confused with Casino, another Scorsese crime drama starring De Niro and Pesci. Casino is based on Frank Rosenthal’s experiences in Las Vegas, not Henry Hill’s New York mob life. The Godfather and The Departed are also fictional crime films with different characters and plots.

Goodfellas received six Academy Award nominations. Joe Pesci won Best Supporting Actor, and the film is widely regarded as one of Scorsese’s defining works.
