The Iceman Tapes: Conversations with a Killer and The Iceman Confesses: Secrets of a Mafia Hitman (also known as The Iceman: Confessions of a Mafia Hitman) are two documentaries that feature the Mafia hitman Richard Kuklinski. They were produced by HBO and released in 1992 and 2001, respectively.[1][2]

After years of silence, "The Iceman" speaks, in two interviews a decade apart, Richard Kuklinski, a notorious top enforcer for the Gambino crime family, tells his unusual and gruesome story.[citation needed] Raised on—and immune to—violence, he kept his job and tactics a secret from his adoring family.[citation needed] In 1986, after a long investigation, Kuklinski was betrayed by "the only friend I didn't kill" and when interviewed was serving multiple life sentences.[3]
