The true story of a real fake.
Directed by Steven Spielberg

A charming, cat-and-mouse biographical drama about a brilliant young con artist and the FBI agent determined to catch him, told with wit and underlying warmth.
A true story about Frank Abagnale Jr. who, before his 19th birthday, successfully conned millions of dollars worth of checks as a Pan Am pilot, doctor, and legal prosecutor. An FBI agent makes it his mission to put him behind bars. But Frank not only eludes capture, he revels in the pursuit.
