John Dillinger è un fuorilegge col vizio del baseball, del cinema e delle macchine veloci. A colpi di Thompson e a capo di una gang armata, rapina banche ed estingue i debiti degli americani impoveriti dalla (Grande) Depressione. Le sue fughe rocambolesche e temerarie gettano imbarazzo e sconforto sulle istituzioni e su Edgar Hoover, ambizioso direttore del Bureau of Investigation. Elegante ed impavido, Dillinger ha un proiettile sempre in canna e un cappotto per ogni occasione e per ogni signora, rapinata del suo cuore o rapita dal suo fascino. La sua nemesi, efficiente e laconica, ha il volto e il garbo "gable" di Melvin Purvis, determinato ad accomodarlo sulla sedia elettrica. Decimata la sua compagine di criminali e assediato dalla polizia, Dillinger sceglierà la via fatale (e letale) del cinema.
