Description: In the 1960s, Reggie Kray, a former boxer, rises to prominence within London’s criminal underworld. His twin brother, Ron, is initially confined in a psychiatric hospital due to paranoid schizophrenia. Reggie resorts to threats to secure his brother’s early release. Once reunited, the brothers join forces to dominate a significant portion of London’s criminal activities. Their first major move involves seizing control of a local nightclub through intimidation and extreme violence.
Reggie begins a relationship with Frances, the sister of his driver, and later marries her. When Reggie is imprisoned for a prior criminal conviction, Frances urges him to abandon his life of crime. Despite his promise, Reggie remains drawn to the underworld. Meanwhile, Ron’s deteriorating mental state and violent behavior cause financial strain on their nightclub, nearly forcing its closure. Upon Reggie’s release, the brothers clash in a physical fight but eventually reconcile.
The Kray brothers are approached by Angelo Bruno, representing the Philadelphia crime family and the American Mafia. Bruno proposes a partnership to split London’s underground gambling profits in exchange for protection. Initially, the deal proves highly profitable. However, Ron’s instability leads to the public murder of George Cornell, a rival gang associate. This act triggers a full-scale investigation by Scotland Yard into the Kray brothers’ operations.
