During the Great Depression, bored waitress Bonnie Parker falls for ex-con Clyde Barrow, and together they set off on a cross-country crime spree. Their crimes escalate quickly, from petty theft to armed bank robbery, and the pressure begins to fracture both their relationship and their gang. Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway lead Arthur Penn’s taboo-breaking crime drama, a landmark of American cinema and one of the founding films of the New Hollywood era.

‘Funny and violent, knowing and chilling, this is the template that no lovers-on-the-lam movies has ever bettered.’

‘Bonnie and Clyde is the most excitingly American American movie since The Manchurian Candidate. The audience is alive to it.’
