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.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A methodical cat-and-mouse thriller set during the Depression, where charisma and brutality collide as the FBI closes in on an outlaw who's become a folk legend. Stylish but relentless, it's more interested in the machinery of pursuit than in glorifying the chase.
