Public Enemies
America's Most Wanted.
Directed by Michael Mann
Produced by Universal Pictures, Relativity Media
A historical crime drama about the cat-and-mouse pursuit between a charismatic Depression-era bank robber and the FBI, balancing Dillinger's outlaw appeal against the machinery of law enforcement closing in.
Depression-era bank robber John Dillinger's charm and audacity endear him to much of America's downtrodden public, but he's also a thorn in the side of J. Edgar Hoover and the fledgling FBI. Desperate to capture the elusive outlaw, Hoover makes Dillinger his first Public Enemy Number One and assigns his top agent, Melvin Purvis, the task of bringing him in dead or alive.
