     Catch Me if You Can
2002  PG-13  COMEDY-DRAMA  2h 21min
CAST— Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hanks, Christopher Walken, Martin Sheen, Nathalie Baye, Amy Adams, James Brolin, Brian Howe, Jennifer Garner
MUSIC— John Williams  DIRECTOR— Steven Spielberg  BASED ON— True events

     Steven Spielberg delivers again! But this time it’s not with a whip-toting adventurer or carnivorous dinosaurs. This time it’s a fresh-faced young con-man: Frank Abignale, Jr. This is the true story of a young man (very young actually, he was still a teenager) who ran away from home and conned an airline company into believing that he was a co-pilot, earning a steady paycheck and everything. And so it began. From there he was a doctor, a lawyer… and the most sought after criminal by FBI agent Carl Hanratty, played by Tom Hanks. After all of the ups and downs of this film the surprise comes in the last few minutes, as Frank’s life takes on the ultimate ironic twist. So stick around.
