In the teaser, we see that the film opens in the 1960s when organised crime in New York was controlled by Italian-American mafia families. Here, we meet De Niro’s Frank Sheeran talking over the phone to Al Pacino’s Jimmy Hoffa.
The Irishman is based on Charles Brandt book ‘I Heard You Paint Houses’. Robert De Niro is playing the role of Frank Sheeran a World War II veteran and a hitman. Apparently Frank played a role in the disappearance of Jimmy Hoffe played by Al Pacino. Hoffe was the leader of labour unions and deeply involved with the organised crime sector. Joe Pesci plays mob boss Russell Bufalino.
