Power(1980)

Power is a crime drama that traces the rise of Tommy Vanda from Chicago dock worker to influential labor leader. Loosely inspired by Jimmy Hoffa's life, the film follows Vanda's ascent through the ranks of organized labor before his arrest and imprisonment in federal prison. His story takes a darker turn when he mysteriously disappears after a fateful encounter with shadowy figures, mirroring the real-life fate of Hoffa himself. Joe Don Baker stars as Vanda in this gritty examination of ambition, corruption, and the dangerous underworld of mid-century labor politics.
