The Irishman

In THE IRISHMAN, Frank Sheeran (Robert De Niro) tells the story of his life and how he came to be associated with Jimmy Hoffa (Al Pacino). Frank starts out as a union driver, transporting meat in refrigerated trucks, but soon realizes he can make extra money on the side delivering to local gangsters. He meets crime boss Russell Bufalino (Joe Pesci) and becomes a hit man. After the union helps Frank avoid a criminal charge, he's introduced to Hoffa, and the two become close friends. Frank rises through the ranks, becoming president of his own chapter. But things start to crumble when Hoffa goes to jail and later tries to regain control of the unions. It becomes clear that his time has come, and it's Frank's job to take care of it.
