Public Enemies (Blu-ray)

Public Enemies

The plot of the film tells the story of the legendary bank robber John Dillinger. His daring attacks made him a prominent hero for all the oppressed and a prime target for top FBI agent Melvin Purvis and bureau director John Edgar Hoover. No one could stop the Dillinger gang. No prison could hold him. Charm and desperate escapes glorified the criminal in a society that considered banks the main cause of the Great Depression. While the adventures of the swashbuckling gang, which included Little Nelson and Alvin Karpis, inspired angry citizens, Hoover decided to seize the opportunity and turn the Bureau of Investigation into the country's main law enforcement agency - the FBI. He made Dillinger the most dangerous enemy of America, and named Purvis, the pride of the Federal Bureau, as the savior.
