The movie portrays Texas Ranger Frank Hamer as a bungler who is humiliated by Bonnie, Clyde, and Buck, being forced to pose for pictures before being set adrift in a rowboat. In reality, Hamer, an already legendary Texas Ranger, came out of semi-retirement at the request of the Texas Governor following the notorious Eastham Prison raid in 1934. He was tasked with hunting down and killing Bonnie and Clyde. He had never met the pair until the fateful ambush. His family were very upset by the portrayal and successfully sued Warner Brothers for an undisclosed sum.
