Welcome to my website made for the beautiful and remarkable movie of Road to Perdition! Originally the story was written by Max Allan Collins who made it into a single-volume graphic novel in 1998. It was directed into a beautiful movie in 2002 by director Sam Mendes. This movie has beautiful landscapes, score soundtrack, acting, and cinematography! This movie is truly a masterpiece!

This is the story of Michael O'Sullivan, a feared and religiously inclined mob hit man who's brutally betrayed-and the fierce vengeance he wreaks. It's 1930 and O'Sullivan works for the Looneys, an Irish mob family with a stranglehold on the politics and businesses of a small Midwestern city. Curious about his dad's mysterious "job," Michael Jr. stows away in his car to see what he does for a living. He inadvertently witnesses his father and one of the Looneys murder a crooked cop and his partners. Fearing what the kid saw, the Looneys set the O'Sullivans up to be killed. They murder O'Sullivan's wife and younger son, leaving him stunned but determined to have his revenge. The Looneys go into hiding, and the two Sullivan's leave but another hitman, Maguire, is sent to kill them. Maguire is a crime-scene photographer who often commits the crimes he photographs.
And as they take upon this path, O'Sullivan and his son grow together in a relationship that will never be forgotten.
"That is the core of the story: two men protecting their children. In the end, what can be more important than that?" -Sam Mendes
