Public Enemies
CrimeDrama140 min
During the Great Depression, bank robber John Dillinger becomes both a folk hero and the fledgling FBI’s top target. Johnny Depp is Dillinger, moving from brazen bank jobs to prison breaks while Christian Bale’s Melvin Purvis leads the hunt after J. Edgar Hoover names him America’s first Public Enemy Number One. Marion Cotillard is Billie Frechette, the woman at Dillinger’s side as the manhunt widens. Michael Mann frames the 1930s chase around robberies, hideouts, surveillance, and the Bureau’s effort to make a national example of one outlaw.
