In 1925 stelde Mussolini, die sinds 3 jaar aan de macht was, Cesare Mori aan als prefect van Sicilië om de maffia uit te schakelen. Het fascistische regime was namelijk bang voor de macht en invloed van de maffiosi. De daaropvolgende 4 jaar kreeg hij de bijnaam van 'ijzeren prefect' die meer dan 2000 maffiosi oppakte. Echter, ook de fascistische top had banden met de maffia en wanneer Mori ook hen aanpakt krijgt hij problemen.
Nee, helaas is Il prefetto di ferro nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
