Scorsesejev film je posnet po resnični zgodbi profesionalnega zločinca Henryja Hilla, ki si je že od malih nog želel postati član mafije. Ko se mu je želja uresničila, se je skupaj z gangsterjema Tommyjem DeVitom in Jimmyjem Conwayem počasi ujel v svet kriminala, denarja in mamil. Nazadnje je končal kot begunec brez imena pod zaščito ameriške vlade. Svojo zgodbo je zaupal novinarju Nicholasu Pileggiju, ki je o njem napisal knjižno uspešnico. Film je bil nominiran za šest oskarjev. V glavnih vlogah igrajo Robert DeNiro, Ray Liotta in Joe Pesci, ki si je upravičeno prislužil oskarja.
Film je priredba knjige Charlesa Brandta I Heard You Paint Houses in prikazuje s kriminalom prepojeno življenje Franka Sheerana, “izvršilca dolžnosti” mafijske družine Bufalino ter skrivnostno izginotje sindikalca Jimmyja Hoffe, ki naj bi ga Sheeran leta 1975 tudi ubil.
