在这部吉米霍法之死纪录片片中,这是一个纪录电影。前美国卡车司机工会领袖吉米•霍法在密歇根州的一个停车场神秘失踪，成为困扰美国人的一大谜团。有人推测他已被黑手党杀死，但是否真的如此，至今仍是一个谜。警方开展了长达四十年的大规模调查，确定了几百名嫌疑人，但本案的调查仍没有任何进展。在美国人心中，Hoffa既是英雄也是恶棍。他白手起家，成为全国最大公会的主席。就算身陷监狱，仍然受到运输公司Teamsters上下的尊敬和爱戴。由于肯尼迪总统阵营的反对,Hoffa的名字成为贪官的代名词，但其中真相扑朔迷离。Hoffa最辉煌的岁月正是美国经济和公会运动最鼎盛时期，他也曾参与过犯罪组织的活动。《吉米 霍法之死》第一次全面揭露事件首尾，通过全面的调查，寻找不为人知的线索和照片，揭开Hoffa之死的神秘面纱。
Jimmy Hoffa's disappearance is one of the great crimes of the century. Despite a massive Federal investigation spanning 4 decades and hundreds of suspects, only the general contours of the crime are known. In the American mythology Hoffa is both hero and villain; a self-made man who ran the nation's largest union and was so beloved by the rank and file Teamsters he represented that they supported him as union president even as he served time in prison. Hoffa's name is synonymous with corruption thanks to Bobby Kennedy's campaign against him, but the truth is much more complex. Hoffa's glory years coincided with the golden age of the Union movement and the American economy; he also was enmeshed in the Machiavellian world of organized crime. "Killing Jimmy Hoffa" tells the whole story for the first time, using exclusive interviews, never before seen news footage and photographs, and revealing the real story of the day he died.
