Frequently asked questions

What is Hoffa about? Toggle content

Hoffa is a historical crime drama film that tells the story of Jimmy Hoffa, a powerful labor union leader who disappeared mysteriously in 1975. The film explores Hoffa's rise to power as the president of the Teamsters union, his relationships with organized crime figures, and his subsequent conviction and imprisonment for labor racketeering. The film opens with Hoffa (played by Jack Nicholson) and his friend Bobby Ciaro (played by Danny DeVito) waiting in a parking lot, reminiscing about their past experiences. The film then flashes back to Hoffa's early days as a union organizer in Detroit, where he worked tirelessly to unionize truck drivers and laundry workers. As Hoffa's power and influence grew, he became embroiled in a web of corruption and violence. He formed a partnership with the Detroit Mafia, using union funds to make illegal loans to organized crime figures. When Robert F. Kennedy became Attorney General, he launched an investigation into Hoffa's activities, leading to a bitter feud between the two men. Hoffa's downfall began when he was convicted of labor racketeering and sentenced to prison. He was later pardoned by President Nixon, but was prohibited from having any involvement with the Teamsters for at least ten years. Frustrated and angry, Hoffa attempted to regain his power and influence, but his efforts were ultimately unsuccessful. He disappeared in 1975, and his fate remains a mystery to this day.
