Description: **City of God (2002) Full Movie in Portuguese – 720p and 480p**
**Storyline:**
The film opens with a dramatic scene: an armed gang chases a runaway chicken in a favela known as *Cidade de Deus* (City of God). The chicken pauses between the gang and the narrator, a young man nicknamed Rocket (*Buscapé*).
The story then flashes back to the 1960s, when the favela was a newly built housing project with limited resources. It follows the lives of the “Tender Trio,” a group of amateur thieves—Shaggy (*Cabeleira*), Clipper (*Alicate*), and Rocket’s older brother, Goose (*Marreco*). They rob business owners and share the money with the community, who in turn protect them from the police. A young boy named Li’l Dice (*Dadinho*) persuades them to raid a motel and rob its occupants.
The trio agrees not to harm anyone and assigns Li’l Dice as the lookout. However, Li’l Dice betrays them by killing the motel occupants after falsely warning the trio of police arrival. The massacre attracts police attention, forcing the trio to disband. Clipper joins the Church, Shaggy is killed by police while fleeing the favela, and Goose is shot by Li’l Dice after taking his money. Benny (*Bené*), Shaggy’s brother and Li’l Dice’s friend, witnesses the incident.
By the 1970s, the favela transforms into an urban jungle. Rocket joins a group of hippies, pursues photography, and develops feelings for a girl named Angélica. However, his attempts to get closer to her are disrupted by a gang of young criminals called “The Runts.” Meanwhile, Li’l Dice, now calling himself Li’l Zé (*Zé Pequeno*), builds a drug empire with Benny by eliminating competitors, except for Carrot, Benny’s close friend.
Li’l Zé takes control of a drug distribution center known as “the apartment” and forces Carrot’s manager, Blacky (*Neguinho*), to work for him. Rocket visits the apartment during the raid to get drugs for Angélica, unwittingly getting caught in the chaos.
