Road - To Perdition

Road to Perdition (2002) is a neo-noir crime drama directed by Sam Mendes, based on the graphic novel by Max Allan Collins. Set in 1931 during the Great Depression, the film is a meditation on father-son relationships, the cycle of violence, and the possibility of redemption within a criminal underworld.

The story follows Michael Sullivan (Tom Hanks), a stoic enforcer for Irish mob boss John Rooney (Paul Newman). Rooney raised the orphaned Sullivan and views him as a surrogate son—a bond deeper than the one he shares with his own impulsive and jealous biological son, Connor (Daniel Craig). Road to Perdition
