Real Outlaws

The Star-crossed killers are hurtling towards their final date with destiny. But they still have one thing left to do - come good on Clyde’s promise of revenge on the facility that shaped his future - Eastham Prison. 

Their daring raid will bring the bloodhound Texas Ranger, Frank Hamer, down on them. As the net finally closes in, their celebrity reaches new heights - their exploits get wilder and the stories get stranger, and the truth becomes harder to see.

One thing is for certain - this is the final ride for Bonnie and Clyde.

It’s April 1933. In Joplin, Missouri, a routine stakeout erupts into chaos under the suburban streetlights. Gunfire cracks the night as Bonnie Parker unleashes a hail of bullets from her oversized machine gun, buying time for Clyde Barrow and the gang to ram their way to freedom. Two cops lie dead, but the real prize for the law? An abandoned apartment brimming with weapons, personal effects—and a camera roll of playful, defiant photos that will rocket Bonnie and Clyde to infamy.  As the Barrow Gang tears across the Depression-ravaged Midwest in stolen cars, their high-speed heists and shootouts turn them into glamorous anti-heroes. But behind the pinup poses and romantic poetry lurks a brutal reality of violence and a mounting body count that tests even their ride-or-die bond.

This is the story of Bonnie and Clyde.
