Plot Synopsis:
Fred Williamson held the reigns as the prominent male lead in several of the blaxploitation era's most popular films including Hammer, Legend of Nigger Charley, Three The Hard Way and Hell Up In Harlem. The brutal assault at the hands of a racist cop will inform the life of Tommy Gibbs (Fred Williamson, Hammer), who will grow up to become the reigning head of Harlem's black mafia in Black Caesar. Establishing a mob empire that challenges the New York mafia's stronghold on the city, Tommy will prove himself a worthy opponent and a natural born enemy. His volatile romance with chanteuse Helen (Gloria Hendry, Live and Let Die) will set in motion a series of deadly events that the self-proclaimed criminal kingpin, the Black Caesar, may not escape.
