Helmed by director Barry Levinson, The Alto Knights follows the journey of historical ganglords Vito Genovese and Frank Costello. In the quest for power, they experience friendship but end up with conflicts and betrayal.

The synopsis of The Alto Knights, as mentioned in The Rotten Tomatoes, goes by:

The film follows two of New York's most notorious organized crime bosses, Frank Costello (Robert De Niro) and Vito Genovese (De Niro), as they vie for control of the city's streets. Once the best of friends, petty jealousies and a series of betrayals place them on a deadly collision course that will reshape the Mafia (and America) forever.

Both of the characters of Genovese and Costello are essayed by Robert De Niro. Along with the veteran actor, The Alto Knights stars Debra Messing, Cosmo Jarvis, Kathrine Narducci, Michael Rispoli, and many others.

However, the musical score of The Alto Knights adds up to the intense drama and the high staking tensions. Since the story is a biopic film, the auditory elements speak out the ethos of its historical context perfectly.

David Fleming shared his thoughts about the music of The Alto Knights. As per reports at the Business Wire, Fleming elucidated how the emotional state of both Genovese and Costello was reflected in the music. While keeping alive the historical context of the story, he used modern instruments as well.

David Fleming explains:

“Barry Levinson's The Alto Knights is a true story of the end of a brotherhood and the fall of the American mafia. When Barry and I first spoke about the music, we knew it needed to have a simmering, kinetic energy to mirror the undercurrent of quiet machinations that push Frank and Vito toward sabotage and betrayal. The score uses pulsing saxophones and synthesizers juxtaposed over classic sounds of a bygone era to underpin this tectonic shift in the history of organized crime.”
