Summary
"It's 1933, the Year of Fear, and Prohibition has given rise to the American gangster. There's blood in the streets, bank robberies at gunpoint are commonplace, and kidnapping for ransom is the scourge of a lawless nation. With local cops unauthorized to cross state lines in pursuit and no national police force, safety for kidnappers is just a short trip on rural roads they know well from their bootlegging days. George "Machine Gun" Kelly and his wife, Kathryn, are two of the most celebrated gangsters of their era. With gin-running operations facing extinction and bank vaults with dwindling stores of cash, Kelly sets his sights on the easy-money racket of kidnapping."--
