Catch Me If You Can
Overview
Before his nineteenth birthday, Frank Abagnale Jr. had already lived several lives, and none of them were his own. A charming, restless teenager reeling from his parents' divorce, Frank runs away and discovers a talent for reinvention: first as a Pan Am pilot flying the world for free on forged checks, then as a doctor supervising a hospital ward, then as a lawyer who passes the bar after just weeks of study. Leonardo DiCaprio plays Frank with a lightness that makes his loneliness ache, while Tom Hanks is superb as Carl Hanratty, the dogged FBI agent who is the only man able to keep pace with him. Set in the stylish 1960s and based on a true story, this is a breezy, bittersweet caper about a boy who wanted a family and settled for the whole world instead.
