Summary: Warren Beatty, Faye Dunanway and Gene Hackman star in the true story of notorious depression-era bank robbers Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow, whose violent crimes turned them into minor celebrities.

Based on the true-life exploits of the notorious depression-era bank robbers Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow, BONNIE AND CLYDE has become a part of popular American culture and is recognized as one of the most violent films to come out of mainstream Hollywood.

Bonnie is bored with life and wants a change. She gets her chance when she meets a charming young drifter by the name of Clyde Barrow. Clyde has dreams of a life of crime, and freedom from the hardships of the depression. The two fall in love and soon begin a crime spree that extends from Oklahoma to Texas. They rob small banks with skill and panache, soon becoming minor celebrities known across the country. People are proud to have been held up by Bonnie and Clyde; to them the duo is doing what nobody else has the guts to do. To the law the two are evil bank robbers who deserve to be gunned down where they stand. Warrren Beatty (REDS, BULWORTH) and Faye Dunaway (CHINATOWN, DON JUAN DE MARCO) are marvellous as the young criminal lovers, delivering subtle and complete performances. Also excellent are Gene Hackman (THE FRENCH CONNECTION, UNFORGIVEN) as Clyde's brother, Buck; and Estelle Parsons as Buck's wife, Blanche; and the always enjoyable Michael J. Pollard as C.W. Moss. The extremely violent film has made a large impact on American culture, expressing the mood of rebellion rampant in the late 1960s and beyond.

One of the landmark films of the 1960s, Bonnie and Clydechanged the course of American cinema. Setting a milestone for screen violence that paved the way for Sam Peckinpah's The Wild Bunch, this exercise in mythologized biography should not be labelled as a bloodbath; as critic Pauline Kael wrote in her rave review, "it's the absence of sadism that throws the audience off balance". The film is more of a poetic ode to the Great Depression, starring the dream team of Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway as the titular antiheroes, who barrel across the South and Midwest robbing banks with Clyde's brother Buck (Gene Hackman), Buck's frantic wife Blanche (Estelle Parsons) and their faithful accomplice C W Moss (the inimitable Michael J. Pollard). Bonnie and Clydeis an unforgettable classic that has lost none of its power since the 1967 release. --Jeff Shannon
