The Godfather: Part II (also known as Mario Puzo's The Godfather Part II) is a 1974 American thriller film directed by Francis Ford Coppola from a script co-written with Mario Puzo. The film is both a sequel and a prequel to The Godfather, chronicling the story of the Corleone family following the events of the first film, while also depicting the rise to power of the young Vito Corleone. The film stars Al Pacino, Robert Duvall, Diane Keaton, John Cazale, and Talia Shire. New cast members include Robert De Niro, Michael V. Gazzo, and Lee Strasberg.

The Godfather: Part II was nominated for eleven Academy Awards and won six including Best Picture and Best Supporting Actor for Robert De Niro, and has been selected for preservation in the US National Film Registry.
