Introduction:

Michael (Tom Hanks) is the adopted son of Rooney, a mafia boss in Chicago, USA. He has always been Rooney's capable right-hand man - the feared hitman "Angel of Death" within the gang. Although Michael kills without hesitation, in reality, he is a gentlemanly, non-smoking, non-drinking good husband and good father. His two sons have never known about their father's profession until his elder son, little Michael, turned 12. One day, he sneaked into his father's car to find out about his father’s job.

Little Michael witnessed a murder case, and his actions were also discovered by the gang. The gang was afraid that he might leak information, but Michael (Tom Hanks) guaranteed that he would not divulge any secrets because "he is my son." However, Michael's wife and younger son were mistakenly killed by the gang; they were originally targeting him and little Michael. Thus, the father and son began their journey as fugitives and embarked on a path of vengeance!
