Michael Sullivan, Jr.: There are many stories about Michael Sullivan. Some say he was a decent man. Some say there was no good in him at all. But I once spent 6 weeks on the road with him, in the winter of 1931. This is our story.

Trivia
Producer Dean Zanuck had never seen a graphic novel before until he was pitched the idea of "Road to Perdition". Flicking through the pages of the novel, he was immediately hooked. He then sent a copy to his father, Richard D. Zanuck, who was on location in Morocco at the time. He also was smitten with the project and instructed his son to dispatch a copy of the novel to Steven Spielberg, who called back two days later, saying that he wanted to do it. See more »Goofs
Continuity: When Michael is shot at the beach house, blood is spattered on the large window. The blood is gone in later shots. See more »Quotes
