Catch Me If You Can is a crime biographical film based on the true story of Frank Abagnale Jr., which stars Leonardo DiCaprio. In this film, the lives of a young con artist are traced from before his 19th birthday, when he succeeded in pulling cons worth millions of dollars by taking on the identities of a Pan Am pilot, a doctor, and a lawyer. Filmed in a more slumbering, humorous, and dramatic tone, it portrays deception, identity, and belonging while driven by the cat-and-mouse situation between Frank's character and Agent Carl Hanratty, played by Tom Hanks.
