Answer 7

The film dramatizes the true story of Frank William Abagnale, Jr. (Leonardo DiCaprio), a teenaged con man who stole over $4 million (worth about $20 million now) through forgery and other frauds, throughout a crime career lasting six years from 1963 to 1969. The film diverges from the protagonist's actual life story for dramatic effect.

The film begins with an FBI agent, Carl Hanratty (Tom Hanks), arriving at a French prison in 1969 to meet an imprisoned and sick Frank. After a somewhat pointless attempt at another escape, Frank eventually gives in, saying “Let’s go home”. The scene flashes back six years earlier, to Frank and his mother Paula at an award ceremony for Frank’s father, Frank Sr. The next day, Frank Sr. cons a woman to lend him a suit for Frank Jr., who guises as a driver for Frank Sr. to get a loan from Chase Manhattan Bank. When the loan is denied (due to IRS tax evasions by Frank Sr.), the family is forced to move from their grand home to a small apartment, with tension building between the family. Frank Jr., during a point of feeling he will not fit in at his new school, poses as a substitute teacher in a French class, much to his mother's consternation and his father's silent admiration. Eventually, tension builds between Frank’s mother and father, and after seeing his mother with his father’s business partner, the parents file for divorce. Unsure of what to do or how to feel, Frank runs away from home, using checks that his father gave him. When Frank runs out of money, he tries to use his father’s con tricks to help him, but to no avail. Eventually, Frank’s cons get him success as he impersonates an airline pilot (secretly getting airline information from a pilot posing as a student interviewer). He ends up forging Pan Am payroll checks and after a small amount of time ends up stealing over 1.3 million dollars.


"Airline pilot" Frank AbagnaleMeanwhile Carl Hanratty, an FBI bank fraud agent, begins to track down Frank with little help from his superiors, as most of them do not look at bank fraud seriously. While investigating a hotel, Carl discovers that Frank is in the hotel and runs into his room to arrest him. Not knowing who Frank is, Frank says his name is Barry Allen and that he is from the Secret Service, saying that he has just caught the perpetrator. When Carl asks him for identification, Frank calmly gives him his entire wallet and points out a blind man walking to his car as the man Carl was trying to catch. Carl is convinced and offers Frank’s wallet back, with Frank leaving it with Carl as he exits with the evidence. Pondering for a moment, Carl opens the wallet, revealing it to be filled with ripped up labels from bottles, and Carl realizes he has been fooled. Later, at Christmas, Carl is still working when Frank calls him, attempting to apologize for duping Carl. Carl rejects his apology and tells him that he will soon be caught, but laughs when he realizes that Frank actually called him because he has no one else to talk to. Frank hangs up, and Carl continues to investigate, suddenly realizing that the name “Barry Allen” is from The Flash comic books and that Frank is actually a kid.

Frank, meanwhile, has not only changed to becoming a doctor and being a lawyer (to which in the flash forwards Carl continues to ask how Frank cheated on the Bar Exam, and Frank gives no answer), but has fallen in love with a girl named Brenda to whom he eventually admits the truth about himself and asks her to run away with him. Carl tracks him to his engagement party where Frank has left Brenda, asking her to meet him in two days so they can elope. Frank sees her waiting at the scheduled rendezvous time and place, but suddenly sees agents in disguise everywhere and realizes that he has been set up and escapes on a flight to Europe. Six months later, Carl shows his boss that Frank has been forging checks all over the Eastern Hemisphere and that he’s out of control, and wants permission to go to Europe to look for him. When his boss denies him permission, Carl brings Frank’s checks to professionals who deem that the check was printed in France. Remembering from an interview with Paula, Frank’s mother, that she was born in Montrichard, France, Carl goes there where he finds Frank, and tells him that the French police will kill him if he doesn’t go with Carl quietly. Frank assumes he is joking at first, but Carl promises Frank he would never lie to him, and Carl takes him outside, where the French police escort him to prison.

The scene then flashes forward to a plane returning Frank home from prison, where Carl informs him that his father has died. Consumed with grief, Frank escapes from his plane and goes back to his old house, where he finds his mother with the man she left his father for, as well as a girl that Frank realizes is his half-sister. Frank gives up and is sentenced to prison, getting visits from time to time by Carl. When Frank easily deduces the identity of a forger by glancing at some checks Carl is carrying as evidence, Carl gets an idea and calls his boss for an interview by the FBI. At the interview, Frank demonstrates an awesome knowledge of counterfeiting techniques and a deal is made. Frank will be allowed to serve out the remainder of his sentence working for the check fraud department of the FBI under Carl's custody, to which Frank accepts. Though enjoying his semi-freedom and professional job, Frank misses the thrill of the chase and even attempts to fly as an airline pilot again. He is cornered by Carl (demanding again how he cheated on the Bar Exam), who insists that Frank will return at the end of the weekend, since there is no one chasing him, and that he is just a kid.

On Monday, Carl is nervous that Frank has not appeared to work yet and is almost regretful at assuming too much about Frank. However, Frank soon shows up and Carl informs him about their next case. During the examination, Carl asks one final time how Frank cheated on the Bar Exam, to which Frank replies that he didn’t – he had studied for only two weeks and actually passed the exam. Astounded, Carl asks him "Is that the truth, Frank?" to which Frank merely smiles. Carl smiles back and the two continue to investigate their next case.
