Storyline
This is the story of the last few years of the notorious bank robber John Dillinger. He loved what he did and could imagine little else that would make him happier. Living openly in 1930s Chicago, he had the run of the city with little fear of reprisals from the authorities. It's there that he meets Billie Frechette with whom he falls deeply in love. In parallel we meet Melvin Purvis, the FBI agent who would eventually track Dillinger down. The FBI was is in its early days and Director J. Edgar Hoover was keen to promote the clean cut image that so dominated the organization through his lifetime. Purvis realizes that if he is going to get Dillinger, he will have to use street tactics and imports appropriate men with police training. Dillinger is eventually betrayed by an acquaintance who tells the authorities just where to find him on a given night. Written by garykmcd

Trivia
For John Dillinger's famous escape from Crown Point Jail, the film makers decided to film at the real jail which had been closed and turned into a set of small shops and became a historical site. They dressed the jail and store fronts on the square to it's original condition as it would've appeared in 1934. They also filmed the Little Bohemia shoot out at the real lodge. Johnny Depp was actually staying in the same room the real Dillinger stayed in. See more »Goofs
Continuity: Before the beginning of the gun battle at the Little Bohemia lodge, Melvin Purvis is seen armed with a Thompson Sub-Machine Gun with a 50-round drum magazine. When he opens fire on the innocent men in the car, the weapon is still loaded with the drum. However, when the gangsters start shooting back from the lodge, Purvis is seen ejecting a 20-round stick magazine before reloading. See more »Crazy Credits
