意大利经典警匪片。《出生入死》从集团犯罪的源头——西西里入手，把战后黑社会在西西里乃至整个意大利的演变历史和现状的方方面面进行了更为细致深刻的分析，就像影片本名“La piovra”（章鱼）所隐喻的那样，黑社会就像章鱼一样，已经把它的千万条触角深入渗透到了社会的各个角落，政界、金融界、司法界、工商业、新闻媒体，无论是官员、贵族、资本家还是平民劳动阶层，没有人能够彻底摆脱这种阴影，它已经和支持社会的所有骨架血肉相连，成为一个整体，根本无法斩断、分解或剥离。和《教父》不同，影片中正邪角色的分配势均力敌，但无论是正面人物还是反面人物，都被塑造得有血有肉，谁都有弱点，谁也都有其人性的一面。
　　《出生入死》原名,主题是正义一方如何与黑手党展开生死较量. 这个剧从1984开始播出.原剧名的意思是"章鱼".象征黑手党的触角伸向四方,难以斩除.又是一个极阴森恐怖的形象.整个剧始终贯穿着令人心悸的氛围.也是由它出色的配乐营造出来的.
　　这是一部在意大利连续出品播出已达20年的电视连续剧,对黑手党的长期斗争贯穿全片的主题.自1984年开播至今,已播出了10部共48集.在欧洲和全球都享有很高的声誉.对莫迷们来说,更重要的是1986年第2部以后,所有的配乐者一直是莫里康.(按CCTV系列编号,为自1-11集起,片头显示译名为:"音乐 恩尼奥 莫里肯")我国CCTV自2001年开始引进并陆续播放了该片.这次自2005.7.13.开始CCTV-1又从第一组开始连续播放。

　　A couple of years have passed since Corrado Cattani and Giulia Antinari broke up; during this time, Giulia died in an accident (that might or might not have been planned by Tano) and Corrado has lived alone in a place when he can be guarded 24/7. A new investigation brings him face to face with his old enemy Tano Carridi again: at a reception organized by the Antinari bank, a casino owner named Tindari,someone with close connections to the mafia, is brutally murdered.It turns out that the asassin, Salvatore Frolo,had personal reasons to commit the murder: back in Sicilia, many years ago,Tindari had killed his wife and daughter. While Corrado investigates the case with the help of judge Silvia Conti and journalist Davide Faeti,hoping to find more about the mafia's involvement in Tindari's casino business, Tano has three main points on his agenda: 1.Get Greta Antinari's custody in order to have total control over the Antinari bank; 2. Invest mafia money into a huge corporation called "International Insurances", the first step towards taking over the company being a convenient marriage with the "Insurances" manager's daughter, Ester Rasi; 3. Get rid of Cattani once and for all...
