Homer Van Meter Christian Bale ... Melvin Purvis SUMMARY Public Enemies is a 2009 crime film directed by Michael Mann . Set during the Great Depression , it focuses on the true story of FBI agent Melvin Purvis 's attempt to stop criminals John Dillinger , Baby Face Nelson , and Pretty Boy Floyd . The film is an adaptation of Bryan Burrough's non-fiction book Public Enemies: America's Greatest Crime Wave and the Birth of the FBI, 1933–34 . Christian Bale plays FBI agent Purvis, Johnny Depp plays Dillinger, Marion Cotillard plays Dillinger's girlfriend Billie Frechette, and Channing Tatum plays Floyd. Even as Frank realizes he has exposed himself to police scrutiny, he must make deals with the Italian Mafia , in this case Lucchese crime family Mob boss Dominic Cattano ( Armand Assante ), and fend off corrupt NYC detectives, such as Det. Trupo ( Josh Brolin ), who attempt to extort and threaten him. Trupo's dislike of Frank is capped when his prized Shelby Mustang is bombed before his eyes. Frank must also contend with local crime figure Nicky Barnes ( Cuba Gooding, Jr. ), who is taking some of Frank's product, diluting it himself, and selling it under Frank' s "brand" name. Unidentified assassins try to kill Frank’s wife, further destabilizing him and worsening his unsteady marriage. Things finally turn to the worst when Frank sees the U.S. Military vacating Vietnam, which in turn cuts off his primary heroin transportation. Richie catches another break when his men witness Frank's brother's driver, who is also one of his cousins, shooting a woman. They use the driver’s bad predicament to get him to wear a wire. The wire allows Richie and his task force to discover when a plane carrying drugs is landing. Meanwhile, Trupo leads his band of police officers to Frank's mansion w they take Frank's emergency cash supply. When the plane lands, Richie and his men follow the drugs into Newark's projects and obtain a warrant. A huge group of police and detectives attack the drug apartments en masse and a large shootout ensues. Frank is at church when the bust goes down, but he is arrested after the service ends. Frank and Richie finally meet, and Frank’s attempts to bully Richie are unsuccessful. With no other options, Frank decides to provide names of numerous other criminals, including his and Richie’s common enemies: corrupt NYC detectives. Numerous corrupt cops are arrested; a distraught Trupo kills himself to avoid arrest. Richie, having passed the Bar Exam, prosecutes Frank, but he leaves the prosecutor's office after the Lucas trial. The first client he takes after becoming a defense attorney is Frank. Because of his cooperation, Frank receives a relatively light sentence of 15 years rather than the original 70. At the film’s end, he steps out of jail to the sounds and era of the 1990s, significantly older and out of place. The film opens in 1933 as John Dillinger ( Johnny Depp ) is brought to a penitentiary by his partner John "Red" Hamilton, under the guise of a prisoner drop. They are actually t to break out the rest of their gang. Dillinger and Hamilton however overpower several guards and free their partners.
