PUBLIC ENEMIES

For the epic action-thriller, director MICHAEL MANN directs JOHNNY DEPP (Pirates of the Carribbean series, Sweeney Todd), CHRISTIAN BALE (The Dark Knight, Terminator Salvation) and Academy Award® winner MARION COTILLARD (La Vie en Rose, A Good Year) in the story of Dillinger, whose well-choreographed bank robberies made him the number-one target of J. Edgar Hoover’s (BILLY CRUDUP of Watchmen, The Good Shepherd) fledgling FBI and its top agent, Melvin Purvis (Bale).    Watch a clip from the movie (The Assault of the Little Bohemian Lodge)

Mann teams with Depp to examine the man whose criminal exploits captivated a nation besieged by financial hardship and ready to celebrate a mythic figure who robbed the banks hat had impoverished them and outsmarted the authorities who had failed to remedy their hard times, who inspired the first nationwide war on crime, who led a band of accomplished armedrobbers on a cascade of dazzling heists and improbable breakouts, and whose dashing manner and charisma entranced not only a special woman but an entire country: legendary Depression-era outlaw John Dillinger.
