Road to Perdition

In the dark years of the Great Depression, Michael Sullivan is a hitman who shows unwavering loyalty to his boss, Mr. Rooney, and at the same time is a devoted father. These are hard times in Rock Island, where the Irish mob holds sway, Prohibition is still in force, and gangsters, especially Al Capone in Chicago, are at the height of their power. But one day, unexpectedly, the twelve-year-old son of this hitman, Michael Jr., decides to follow his father to see exactly what his work involves.
