The Great Depression of the 1930s provides an excellent opportunity for gangsters and outlaws to strike at banks who were blamed for the meltdown. This film traces the rise and fall of charismatic bank robber John Dillinger (Johnny Depp) who was considered a modern day Robin Hood by many.
After his release from jail John unleashed a 14-month crime wave in Chicago and to contain him an equally popular FBI man Melvin Purvis (Christian Bale) was asked to head the operation to track down the most wanted man who ‘makes the justice system a mockery’.
