Capone

After being arrested and convicted of tax evasion, infamous mobster and feared bootlegger Al Capone (Hardy) is released from incarceration after serving less than a decade in various prisons for his heinous crimes. Released to live his remaining years with his wife, Mae (Cardellini), in their mansion in Palm Island, Florida, Capone is no longer deemed a threat due to his advanced memory loss from previously untreated neurosyphilis. Believed by the government to be faking his hallucinations and memory loss, he and his family are still monitored while in Florida. While his disease progresses and his health deteriorates, Capone is forced to liquidate his belongings to support himself, all while coming to the realization that in his youth he had hidden $10 million but can no longer remember where it is.
