In this episode of Our Hero De Niro, Mike and Mike discuss Sleepers, Barry Levinson's harrowing legal drama about four childhood friends whose lives are forever changed after a traumatic stint in juvenile detention. With one of Robert De Niro's most quietly powerful performances as Father Bobby, the hosts explore the film's emotional weight, its ambitious narrative structure, and its moral complexity. They also reflect on courtroom tropes, John Williams' sweeping score, and whether this is the best De Niro performance they've seen so far.
