The Irishman

CrimeDramaThriller210 min

Pennsylvania, 1956: truck driver and war veteran Frank Sheeran is pulled into the Bufalino crime family after a chance meeting with mob boss Russell Bufalino, a connection that moves him from hauling meat into the center of organized crime and labor politics. Robert De Niro is Frank, whose reliability makes him useful to men on both sides of that world, while Al Pacino's Jimmy Hoffa enters as a forceful union leader and becomes his closest ally. Martin Scorsese follows Frank across the 1950s, ’60s, and ’70s, as mob work, family strain, and political power begin to overlap.
