1933: Franklin Roosevelt takes the office of President of the United States, the country is mired in the greatest economic calamity in living memory, and millions are out of work. From this atmosphere of anger at [[The Man]] emerges one of the most legendary criminals of all time: bank robber John Dillinger ([[Johnny Depp]]). Dillinger and his gang of outlaws become [[Anti -Hero|antiheroes]] for much of the disgruntled public.
 
The film opens with Dillinger and his best friend John "Red" Hamilton breaking a group of allies out of Indiana's state penitentiary. But the recently-established FBI, headed by J. Edgar Hoover (Billy Crudup), is on the case, hungry for publicity in order to win over skeptical voices in Congress. Special Agent Melvin Purvis ([[Christian Bale]]) is assigned to track down Dillinger. Dillinger, meanwhile, takes time out of his busy schedule to romance a hatcheck girl named Billie Frechette ([[Marion Cotillard]]).
