Fast, funny, and incredibly entertaining, Steven Spielberg directs Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks in this stranger-than-fiction tale inspired by a true story. Frank W. Abagnale, Jr. is a brilliant young master of deception. Frank didn't go to flight school... Frank didn't go to medical school... Frank didn't go to law school... because Frank's still in high school. While he successfully passes himself off as a pilot, a lawyer and a doctor-all before his 21st birthday-an FBI agent closes in, hot on his trail. (Paramount Home Entertainment)
