Hoffa is a
1992 biographical film based on the
life and mysterious
death of
Teamsters Union leader Jimmy Hoffa. Although it chronicles Hoffa's youth in Michigan to his leadership in New York City and Washington, D.C. and his death in a
Detroit suburb, almost all of the film was shot in and around
Pittsburgh with the city's landmarks (such as
Gateway Center in the "Idlewild Airport" scene) serving as backdrops for the various locales in the film.
Jack Nicholson plays James R. "Jimmy" Hoffa, with Danny DeVito playing Robert "Bobby" Ciaro as well as directing the movie.
