The Iceman is inspired by actual events based on the life of notorious mob contract killer Richard Kuklinski, who was known as "The Iceman" for hiding a body in an ice-cream truck freezer. The film begins with him on a date with Deborah, his future wife, and working in the porn industry delivering film reels. It follows his grisly life from when local wiseguy Roy Demeo puts him on the payroll through his arrest in 1986.

Kuklinski truly enjoyed practicing and perfecting the art of killing, with the help of fellow hitman Robert Pronge, and eliminated many of his mob boss’s rivals. He loved the hunt and boasted a personal body count of over 100 victims. There was lack of attention from law enforcement because he kept changing his method and they could not get near him until they sent an undercover agent to pose as a mobster. When he was finally arrested, his wife and children, whom he lived with in a small New Jersey town, had no idea about his real profession -- believing he was a devout husband and father, and a successful businessman.
Special features include a making-of featurette and a behind the scenes featurette.
