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. Wikipedia ↗

Public Enemies is a 2009 American biographical crime drama directed by Michael Mann. Johnny Depp stars as John Dillinger, the charismatic bank robber who became America's most wanted criminal and folk hero during the Great Depression, robbing banks with theatrical flair while eluding the newly formed FBI, led by J. Edgar Hoover's handpicked agent Melvin Purvis played by Christian Bale.

The film chronicles the final year of Dillinger's life, from his daring jailbreaks and brazen robberies through his romance with Billie Frechette played by Marion Cotillard to the ambush outside the Biograph Theater in Chicago. Michael Mann shot the film on high-definition digital video, creating a hyper-real, present-tense immediacy that made the 1930s period feel contemporary. Johnny Depp brought quiet charm and melancholy to Dillinger, a man who knew he was running out of time.

Public Enemies earned $214 million worldwide on a $100 million budget.
