Nel 1974 l'avvocato Giorgio Ambrosoli viene nominato capo liquidatore della Banca Privata Italiana, di proprietà del finanziere Michele Sindona. Le sue ricerche lo portano a scoprire una fitta rete di relazioni che legano Sindona ad importanti esponenti politici, alla mafia e al Vaticano. L'onestà e l'impegno civile che contraddistinguono la figura di Ambrosoli hanno la meglio sulle ripetute minacce e sui tentativi di comprare il suo silenzio. Ma una sera, rientrando a casa, troverà un sicario ad aspettarlo.

Un eroe borghese (1995)
91 min
1979. Lawyer Giorgio Ambrosoli is appointed liquidator of Banca Privata Italiana, the empire of mighty financier Michele Sindona. Teaming up with unassuming cop Silvio Novembre, Ambrosoli uncovers the real scope of Sindona's malpractice, exposing him as the middleman in a global network linking the Sicilian Mafia, Italy's ruling Christian Democrats, and CIA-backed covert operations across Western Europe. Isolated by his own government and pressured by mob hitmen, Ambrosoli refuses to back down, insisting he is simply 'doing his duty'.
