The film is an adaptation of Bryan Burrough's non-fiction book Public Enemies: America's Greatest Crime Wave and the Birth of the FBI, 1933–34.
A preview of Public Enemies was seen at the end of the 81st Academy Awards and the first trailer was released shortly after on March 5, 2009. The film is due for release on July 1.
The Michael Mann directed film is set during the Great Depression with the focus on the FBI agent Melvin Purvis' (Christian Bale) manhunt to catch criminals John Dillinger (Johnny depp), Baby Face Nelson (Stephen Graham), and Pretty Boy Floyd (Channing Tatum), in an attempt to curb a rampant Chicago crime spree during the 1930s.
Marion Cotillard will play Dillinger's torch singer girlfriend Billie Frechette.
John Dillinger was an American bank robber whose exploits dominated the press during what is sometimes referred to as the public enemy era, between 1931 and 1935.
Pretty Boy Floyd was an American bank robber and alleged killer.
Baby Face Nelson was a bank robber who acquired his moniker, Baby Face Nelson, due to his youthful appearance and small stature. After Dillinger's death in July 1934, Nelson became Public Enemy Number One.
The film has received an MPAA rating of R for gangster violence and some language.
