Despite killing several policemen and civilians during their crime spree, Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow are adored by the public. In 1934, the Governor of Texas hires two former Texas Rangers Tom Hamer and Manye Gault to hunt the pair down. While Arthur Penn's classic Bonnie and Clyde told a romanticised version of these famous lovers and outlaws, this conservative and matter-of-fact drama views the events from the other side. This is probably the more truthful version, but it certainly doesn't provide much entertainment.
