"Supremely entertaining." -Stephen Holden, The New York Times

Inspired by the extraordinary true story of a brilliant young master of deception and the FBI agent hot on his trail, Catch Me If You Can stars Oscar nominee Leonardo DiCaprio and two-time Academy Award winner Tom Hanks in one of the year's most acclaimed hits!

From three-time Oscar winning director Steven Spielberg, Catch Me If You Can follows Frank W. Abagnale, Jr. as he successfully passes himself off as a pilot, a lawyer and a doctor-all before his 21st birthday! Joel Siegel of Good Morning America declares, "Movies don't get much more fun than this!" while The Associated Press hails this incredible tale as "the most flat-out-fun movie of the year!"...
