The long-awaited Peaky Blinders film, The Immortal Man, has finally arrived on Netflix, bringing a definitive end to Tommy Shelby's story. The film picks up with Tommy living in self-imposed exile, haunted by the losses he has suffered. His son Duke, now played by Barry Keoghan, has taken over the Peaky Blinders and reintroduced a level of brutality not seen in years.
The plot thickens when a Nazi sympathiser named Beckett, played by Tim Roth, attempts to recruit Duke to flood the UK with counterfeit currency. When Duke refuses to kill Tommy's sister Ada, Beckett murders her instead. This tragedy forces Tommy to return to Birmingham, where he confronts Duke and eventually tracks down Beckett's headquarters with help from Stephen Graham's character, Hayden Stagg.
In a climactic shootout, Tommy eliminates most of Beckett's men and destroys the counterfeit money. However, Beckett survives and drives a car at Tommy, who shoots him dead but is himself shot twice in the stomach. Making peace with Duke, Tommy asks his son to shoot him in the head and take over as the leader of the Peaky Blinders.
The film ends with Tommy's body being cremated on a pyre surrounded by pictures of his family, confirming his death. It is also revealed that Arthur Shelby died in the years between the series and the film. Cillian Murphy described the filming of Tommy's death as unconventional, with the actors creating a 'beautiful shape' in the warehouse during the scene.
