"The Irishman" is a crime documentary work completed by former U.S. prosecutor Charles Brandt for 5 years of interviews and investigations, vividly recreating Frank Sheeran's long, violent, and passionate life.
In 1975, Sheeran's "friend" and former American Transportation Union president Jimmy Hoffa mysteriously disappeared, and Sheeran became the number one suspect. The FBI spent years organizing manpower to investigate the case but was unable to close it, making it one of the largest unsolved cases in the United States in the past four decades.
A descendant of Irish immigrants, Sheeran enlisted in world war II and threw herself into bloody battles on the european continent for 411 consecutive days. After the war, Hiran worked as a truck driver, and by coincidence, he became a close associate and thug of Russell Buffalino, one of the most powerful gang leaders in the United States, and through him he became the head of the Wilmington, Delaware, and became the head of the Wilmington, Delaware, through whom he became the head of the Wilmington, Delaware.
As one of only two non-Italians on the list of 26 gang leaders in the famous anti-mafia trial in the United States, Sheeran was involuntarily involved in bloody and dirty gangster politics, and the cold-blooded he became a key figure in the bloody battles of Russell, Hoffa and others. Before his death, Sheeran confessed his years of secrets to Brandt, who had been pursuing the case independently, in an attempt to redeem his soul.
"The Irishman" is a kaleidoscopic reflection of the chaotic and restless American society of the 1960s, and it also provides new evidence for historical mysteries such as the Kennedy assassination.
