The Return of Joe Rich

Joe always had a clear sense of morality until his life took a downturn. His job was outsourced to India, his mortgage rate soared, and his wife left him. But Joe has a strategy to reclaim everything he lost, and then some. He heads back to Chicago, the last bastion of genuine masculinity. There, his Uncle Dominic, who has connections, becomes his ticket into the underworld, known locally as “The Outfit.” Joe is determined to join the mob and will stop at nothing to achieve this. But can an aspiring gangster find lasting happiness and longevity? A fascinating aspect of “The Return of Joe Rich” is the stunning HD documentary footage featuring ten real-life “Chicago Guys” aged 73 to 89. These men faced similar challenges in the 1930s, 40s, and 50s, mirroring Joe’s current situation. They serve as a “Greek Chorus,” interweaving their stories with the modern-day plot of the film.
