catch me if you can

"Catch Me If You Can" is a 2002 American crime comedy-drama film directed by Steven Spielberg, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks. It is based on the semi-autobiographical book by Frank Abagnale Jr., who claims to have performed millions of dollars worth of cons by posing as a Pan American World Airways pilot, a doctor, and a prosecutor before his 19th birthday. The film depicts the cat-and-mouse chase between the con artist Frank Abagnale Jr. and FBI agent Carl Hanratty, with Frank's elaborate cons and eventual surrender followed by his work with the FBI on fraud cases. The movie was a critical and commercial success and earned nominations for Best Supporting Actor and Best Original Score at the Academy Awards.
