Frequently Asked Questions

What is The Family about? Toggle content

The Manzoni family, a notorious mafia clan, is relocated to Normandy, France under the witness protection program. However, fitting in soon becomes challenging as their old habits die hard. The family, consisting of Fred Blake (Robert De Niro), Maggie Blake (Michelle Pfeiffer), and their two children, Belle (Dianna Agron) and Warren (John D'Leo), struggle to adapt to their new life while trying to stay under the radar. Despite their efforts to blend in, they find themselves resorting to their old ways when faced with the challenges of everyday life. Their temperaments get the better of them, and they quickly become embroiled in a series of misadventures that threaten to expose their true identities. Meanwhile, back in the United States, leaders of the mafia are determined to track down the Manzonis and exact revenge. The FBI agent responsible for protecting them, Stansfield (Tommy Lee Jones), must use all his resources to keep them safe while also dealing with the cultural shock of being stuck in a small French town. As tensions rise and old habits resurface, the Manzonis must confront their past and decide whether they can truly leave their former lives behind. Will they be able to fit in and start anew, or will their previous actions catch up with them?
