How long is Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman in its theatrical cut?

Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman has a theatrical running time of 209 minutes.

The film premiered in 2019 and was released in select theaters before becoming available on Netflix. Its unusually long length supports a decades-spanning narrative about Frank Sheeran, a truck driver and labor-union figure who claims involvement with organized crime and the disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa.

Robert De Niro plays Sheeran, Al Pacino plays Hoffa, and Joe Pesci plays Russell Bufalino. Steven Zaillian wrote the screenplay, adapting Charles Brandt’s 2004 book I Heard You Paint Houses.

At 209 minutes, The Irishman is among Scorsese’s longest narrative features. Its length is sometimes rounded to three and a half hours, but the precise listed running time is 209 minutes. The film’s extended structure emphasizes memory, aging, and the consequences of violence rather than rapid plot progression.
