Based on Bryan Burrough’s 2004 novel and scripted by Mann, this is set during the great crime wave of 1933-34, when the government’s attempts to stop Depression-era criminal legends such as John Dillilnger (Johnny Depp), Baby Face Nelson and Pretty Boy Floyd transformed J. Edgar Hoover’s FBI into the country’s first federal police force. Bale will play Melvin Purvis, the legendary FBI agent who led the manhunt for Dillinger, Crudup plays J. Edgar Hoover and Lang plays Winstead, the leader of the Texas Rangers who joins the manhunt.
