"Chronicles the crime wave that swept the U.S. in the early 1930s, making legends of bank robbers and killers such as Baby Face Nelson and John Dillinger, and looks at the response of the fledgling FBI, and J. Edgar Hoover's bid for power in the midst of the chaos."@en
"In 1933, a crime wave blazed across America. Fuelled by cheap liquor and fast cars, gangs of chancers, bank robbers, gunslingers and their molls cut a murderous, cash-snatching dash through the US - and became legends. Among them were homicidal Baby Face Nelson, outlaws Bonnie and Clyde, cranky hillbilly Ma Barker and, most deadly of all, the suave gentleman criminal John Dillinger. This is the breakneck story of America's most wanted, and their nemesis: J. Edgar Hoover and his strong-arm law enforcers, the agents of the FBI."
