Official 'Public Enemies' Trailer Rolls Out

Johnny Depp robs banks and escapes prison while sweeping Marion Cotillard off her feet and outsmarting Christian Bale in the first trailer of Michael Mann's crime drama 'Public Enemies'.

The first trailer for "Public Enemies" has been debuted by Universal Pictures on Apple. It teases on how director Michael Mann brings the story of legendary Depression-era outlaw John Dillinger to the big screen, and reels in a closer look at Johnny Depp as Dillinger, Marion Cotillard as Billie Frechette and Christian Bale as FBI's top agent Melvin Purvis.

The trailer starts with a scene in which Dillinger leads a group of men in raiding a bank, while a voice over of Frechette is heard, asking Dillinger of what he's done for a living, the question that he answers simply with a true fact, robbing banks. The footage then cuts to the announcement of first U.S. war against crime, and a snippet of Purvis being assigned to get Dillinger behind bars. But, as soon as Dillinger is arrested, he makes his swift escape and starts the wild police chase to catch him once again.

From the director of "Collateral" comes "Public Enemies", a movie about charismatic bank robber, John Dillinger, whose lightning raids made him the number one target of J. Edgar Hoover's fledgling FBI and its top agent, Melvin Purvis, and a folk hero to much of the downtrodden public. It is adapted from Bryan Burrough's book "Public Enemies: America's Greatest Crime Wave and the Birth of the FBI, 1933-34".

Aside from Johnny Depp, Marion Cotillard and Christian Bale, the crime drama for Universal Pictures features also the likes of Channing Tatum, Giovanni Ribisi, Stephen Dorff and Billy Crudup. "Public Enemies" will raid theaters across the U.S. on July 1.
