Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hanks, Christopher Walken
2002
This film is based on the amazing true story
of Frank Abagnale, the youngest man to ever be put on the FBI's "most
wanted list." Starting at the
tender age of 16, Frank began a five-year string of impersonations and
forgeries. Abagnale went by countless
aliases but the FBI agent trailing him (Hanks) knew him as the Skywayman. Abagnale managed to use his skills to cash
in on millions of dollars. He took on such identities as an airline pilot, a doctor,
a professor, and even an assistant attorney general. In the ultimate change of
heart, Abagnale eventually reformed and went to work as a consultant for the
FBI, the very agency that once used all of their resources to try to catch
him. Hanks plays FBI agent Joe Shaye,
who respected Abagnale's abilities so much that even though he spent five years
trying to catch him, when he was finally put in prison, Shaye negotiated his
early release.
