De "Professor" is een gangster die in de gevangenis beland nadat hij iemand vermoord heeft die flirtte met zijn zus. Vanuit de gevangenis begint hij aan een opmars op de Camorra ladder. Hij laat iedereen vermoorden die in zijn weg staat of wiens loyaliteit in twijfel wordt getrokken. Hij slaagt er zelfs in, zonder ooit de gevangenis te verlaten, om de heersende "don" te vervangen. Als hij uiteindelijk ontsnapt klimt hij verder op in de gelederen van de Cosa Nostra en heeft hij zelfs belangrijke politici in zijn macht. Niets lijkt hem te kunnen stoppen totdat de politiechef Jervolino in beeld verschijnt. Deze gangster film is losjes gebaseerd op het leven van Raffaele Cutolo, één van Napels meest sadistische maffiabazen.
Nee, helaas is Il camorrista nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
