The Biggest Heist in US History: Why Jimmy Burke Murdered Everyone (2025)
This documentary explores the rise and fall of three of North America’s most dangerous Irish-American and Irish-Canadian mobsters. It begins with New York's Jimmy "The Gent" Burke, the brutal mastermind behind the 1978 Lufthansa Heist—the largest robbery in U.S. history at the time. Learn about his vicious temper, his ties to the Luchese crime family (and the real-life story behind the movie Goodfellas), and the intense paranoia that led him to murder almost his entire crew to silence witnesses. Then, the focus shifts to Cleveland's Danny "The Celtic Warrior" Green, the gangster who single-handedly launched a bloody, years-long bombing war against the Italian mafia.
