Texas: 1931. Bonnie Parker's dreams of the limelight and a white picket fence are on hold. She's a waitress in Dallas, endlessly writing letters to the governor pleading for the release of the man she loves: a reckless, quick-smiling boy named Clyde Barrow, sentenced to fourteen years at the notorious Eastham prison farm.
When Clyde is paroled early, Bonnie thinks their life is about to really begin. But Clyde has changed in prison. Distant, damaged, and dogged by the cops, he knows it's only a matter of time before the law tries to lock him up again. That's not something he or Bonnie can bear. When he's fired from his job - and now breaking parole - he decides to make a run for it. Leave Texas. Get enough cash to make a fresh start in a new state. And, of course, he wants his beloved Bonnie to come with him.
It's just one stolen car. One robbed bank. Then, they can have the life they always wanted. Or so they think, as they set out.
