Synopsis

We have chosen to live lives less ordinary..."" Crossing the state border in a stolen Ford V-8 with a trunk of sawn-off shotguns and bootleg whiskey, Bonnie and Clyde have found one last place to hide. Time is ticking - they're on the run from the law and from reality, but which one will catch them first? Based on the true story, and set in 1934 in an unnamed southern state of America, Bonnie & Clyde is an intimate re-telling of the final hours of one of the world's most infamous criminal couples.
