Catch me if you can is one of the best movies ever to be made. The story was done based on the novel written by Stan Redding and Frank Abagnale Jr. It was only later adapted into a film screenplay by Jeff Nathanson. The whole thing was done under the hand of Steven Spielberg, the director. The plot revolves around a high-school boy Frank Abagnale Jr. (Leonardo DiCaprio), who runs away from home at one point while his parents are getting a divorce. Somehow Frank manages to find a hole in the system and starts making money by... well, doing nothing. His acting skills are amazing, he has the charm and he has the hand as well. He poses as a pilot, as a doctor and as a lawyer, but isn't any of this. He is still a high school kid. After cashing couple of cheques and picking up an unlikely amount of money, he gets the attention of the police as well as of the FBI. Special agent Carl Hanratty (Tom Hanks) gets assigned to this case and the game of cat and mouse begins. Whenever Frank does something, he knows that Carl will come after him and he runs off. Occasionally, he calls Carl and talks to him, just to have the game going on and spiced up. Will he run until the rest of his life or will he be caught at one point?
