Description of this Catch Me If You Can Poster
Catch Me If You Can is a 2002 American biographical comedy-drama film directed and produced by Steven Spielberg and starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks with Christopher Walken, Martin Sheen, Nathalie Baye, Amy Adams and James Brolin in supporting roles. Jeff Nathanson's screenplay is based on the semi-autobiographical book of the same name by Frank Abagnale, who claims that before his 19th birthday he managed to pull off millions of dollars worth of scams by posing as a pilot of the Pan American World Airways, a Georgia doctor and a Louisiana parish attorney. The veracity of his story is questionable.
The making of a film version of Abagnale's eponymous book was considered shortly after its publication in 1980, but began in earnest in 1997, when Spielberg's company DreamWorks purchased the film rights. David Fincher, Gore Verbinski, Lasse Hallström, Miloš Forman and Cameron Crowe were all considered to direct the film before Spielberg decided to direct it himself. Filming took place from February to May 2002.
The film was released on December 25, 2002 and met with critical and commercial success. At the 75th Academy Awards, Christopher Walken and John Williams were nominated for Best Supporting Actor and Best Original Score, respectively.
In 1963, Frank William Abagnale Jr. was living in New Rochelle, New York, with his father Frank Abagnale Sr. and his French mother Paula. During his youth, he witnessed his father's many techniques to defraud people. Due to Frank Sr.'s tax problems with the IRS, the family is forced to move to a small apartment.
One day, Frank discovers that his mother is having an affair with his father's friend, Jack Barnes, at the Rotary Club of New Rochelle. When his parents divorce, Frank runs away. Needing money, he turns to scams to survive and his scams become more and more daring. He posed as a Pan Am pilot named Frank Taylor and forged the airline's paychecks. Soon his fake checks were worth millions of dollars.
News of these crimes reaches the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and agent Carl Hanratty begins tracking Frank. Carl meets him at a hotel, but Frank tricks Carl into believing he is a Secret Service agent named Barry Allen. He escapes before Carl realizes he has been tricked.
Frank begins pretending to be a doctor. As Dr. Frank Conners, he falls in love with Brenda, a naive young nurse. He asks his father, a lawyer, to marry him and help him take the Louisiana bar exam, which he passes. Carl follows Frank to his and Brenda's engagement party, but Frank escapes through a bedroom window, telling Brenda to meet him at Miami International Airport two days later.
At the airport, Frank sees Brenda, but also plainclothes agents. He understands that she abandoned him and flees by car. Resuming his identity as a pilot, he organizes a fake recruitment campaign for flight attendants at a local college. Surrounded by eight women as flight attendants, he hides from Carl and the other agents at the airport and escapes on a flight to Madrid, Spain.
In 1967, Carl found Frank in Montrichard, his mother's hometown, in France, and managed to have him arrested by trickery. He was incarcerated in a French prison in Marseille where he became very ill due to the poor conditions of detention. Carl takes Frank on a flight back to the United States. As the flight approaches, Carl informs him of his father's death. Overcome with grief, Frank escapes the plane and returns to the house of his mother who now has a daughter with Barnes. Frank surrenders to Carl and is sentenced to 12 years in a maximum security prison.
Carl occasionally visits Frank. During one of these visits, he shows her a fraudulent check from a case he is working on. Frank immediately understands that the bank teller was involved in the fraud. Impressed, Carl convinces the FBI to allow him to serve the remainder of his sentence working for the FBI's Financial Crimes Unit. Frank accepts, but quickly tires of this tedious office work.
One weekend, Frank is about to pose as a pilot again and is intercepted by Carl, who agrees to let him continue his scam, assuring him that no one is chasing him and that it is his choice. Frank returns to work and discusses another fraud case with Carl, who questions him about how he cheated on the Louisiana bar exam, but Frank reveals that he studied and passed, causing smile Carl.
A postscript states that Frank lived for 26 years in the Midwestern United States with his wife, with whom he had three sons, remained friends with Carl, and built a prosperous life. as one of the world's leading experts on banking fraud and forgery.
