How many minutes long is Scorsese's film 'The Irishman'?

Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman runs for 209 minutes. That makes the 2019 gangster epic 3 hours and 29 minutes long, a deliberately expansive format suited to its decades-spanning story about loyalty, organized crime, politics, and regret.

The film stars Robert De Niro as Frank Sheeran, a truck driver and union figure who claims to have worked as a Mafia hitman. Al Pacino plays union leader Jimmy Hoffa, while Joe Pesci plays crime boss Russell Bufalino. Steven Zaillian wrote the screenplay from Charles Brandt’s 2004 book I Heard You Paint Houses.

The 209-minute runtime is often rounded incorrectly to 210 minutes, but the listed theatrical and streaming runtime is 209 minutes. The length also reflects the film’s slower, reflective structure: instead of focusing only on criminal action, it follows the consequences of Sheeran’s choices across much of the 20th century. It is the longest film of Scorsese’s career.
