The Road To Perdition

Synopsis

He shouldn't have been there. But in the moment that Michael Sullivan's son witnesses a brutal slaying, the lives of this 12-year-old and his gangster father are shattered irrevocably and their destinies forever joined. Now, targeted by the mob to which he's devoted his life, Sullivan and his son find themselves with nowhere to turn, and a sadistic killer in relentless pursuit. It's here - in a fierce and primal struggle to stay alive and protect his boy - that his lifelong gangster will discover honour and redemption. Riverting, powerful and visually stunning, Road to Perdition ranks among the classic gangster movies of all time. Tom Hanks, Paul Newman and Jude Law are unforgettable as desperate men with everything at stake. And Academy Award-winning director Sam Mendes (American Beauty, 1999) brings his haunting vision to a hard-edged story of lost innocence, conflicted loyalty and bloodthirsty ambition.
