Growing up in the Bronx during the 1960s, Calogero finds himself caught between two very different father figures. His father Lorenzo is a hardworking bus driver who believes respect comes from honesty, responsibility, and earning your own way. Sonny, the neighborhood mob boss, offers another kind of education â one built around power, loyalty, fear, and the rules of the street. As Calogero gets older, he has to decide which lessons will shape the man he becomes. A Bronx Tale is ultimately less about gangsters than about fatherhood, character, and choosing the kind of life you want to live.
