Summary

In 1976, thirty-six bombs detonated across Cleveland as a turf war raged between Irish mobster Danny Greene and the Cosa Nostra. Based on true events, this film chronicles Greene's legendary rise from local trouble-maker to top mob enforcer. Turning the tables on loan shark Shondor Birns and joining forces with gangster John Nardi, Greene cut his ties to the Mafia, and began moving on their turf. Surviving countless assassination attempts, Greene's infamous fearlessness and brutality eventually led to the collapse of the mafia syndicates across the U.S. and earned him the status as the one man the mob couldn't kill.
