DEALER CONNECTION - THE ROAD OF THE HEROIN (La Via della droga)
Rome may only be an insignificant hub in the heroin carousel between Asia, the USA and Europe. Nevertheless, Brit Mike Hamilton, head of top-secret undercover operations in the Italian capital, does everything he can to catch the Italian kingpin. He is assisted by narcotics officer Fabio, who disguises himself as the Lone Wolf of the drug scene in order to gain the trust of local drug baron Gianni. Meanwhile, the supply of heroin in Rome is running low. So Fabio is sent to Genoa, to the next highest level of the drug cartel, to get supplies there. Once there, Fabio is caught in a hellish crossfire and it is not clear whether he will survive his undercover mission ...
A hard-hitting Castellari that is literally "addictive" thanks to its great tracking shots and images.

THE OPIUM CONNECTION (Afyon oppio / The Sicilian Connection)
The production and distribution of opium and the heroin derived from it are in the hands of a ramified international gangster organization. Joseph Coppola, top agent of the US Drug Enforcement Administration, fights with extreme dedication to eradicate the powerful syndicate. His mission takes him from Afyon in Turkey, where the opium is produced, to Sicily, where the Mafia controls the production of heroin and its onward transportation to the USA, and back to New York. Coppola takes over a nightclub as a cover and pretends to want to buy 500 kg of raw opium himself. Will he succeed in the trick to get to the people behind it?
