| SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
In the action-thriller Public Enemies, acclaimed filmmaker
Michael Mann directs Johnny Depp, Christian Bale and Academy
Award® winner Marion Cotillard in the story of legendary
Depression-era outlaw John Dillinger (Johnny Depp)—the
charismatic bank robber whose lightning raids made him the
number one target of J. Edgar Hoover’s fledgling FBI
and its top agent, Melvin Purvis (Christian Bale), and a folk
hero to much of the downtrodden public.
No one could stop Dillinger and his gang. No jail could hold
him. His charm and audacious jailbreaks endeared him to almost
everyone—from his girlfriend Billie Frechette (Marion
Cotillard) to an American public who had no sympathy for the
banks that had plunged the country into the Depression.
But while the adventures of Dillinger’s gang—later
including the sociopathic Baby Face Nelson (Stephen Graham)
and Alvin Karpis (Giovanni Ribisi)—thrilled many, Hoover
(Billy Crudup) hit on the idea of exploiting the outlaw’s
capture as a way to elevate his Bureau of Investigation into
the national police force that became the FBI. He made Dillinger
America’s first Public Enemy Number One and sent in
Purvis, the dashing “Clark Gable of the FBI.’’
However, Dillinger and his gang outwitted and outgunned Purvis’
men in wild chases and shootouts. Only after importing a crew
of Western ex-lawmen (newly baptized as agents) and orchestrating
epic betrayals—from the infamous “Lady in Red’’
to the Chicago crime boss Frank Nitti—were Purvis, the
FBI and their new crew of gunfighters able to close in on
Dillinger.
