The Highwaymen

'The Highwaymen' is the untold story about the arrest of iconic folk heroes, Bonnie and Clyde. The film is narrated from the perspectives of two police officers, Frank Hamer (Kevin Costner, 'The Bodyguard') and Maney Gault (Woody Harrelson, 'Zombieland'), who in the year 1934 are on the trail of the gunslinging couple as they cause murder and mayhem across the Southern states. Hamer, who was getting ready to live out his retirement with his wife, is convinced by Texas governor Ma Ferguson (Kathy Bates, 'American Horror Story') to come back to the profession to stop the rampage. Gone are the lively legends in cultural imagination: in this version of the story, Bonnie and Clyde are stone-cold killers taking innocent lives for their own gain, in this reimagination as portrayed by Emily Brobst ('Vampires Suck') and Edward Bossert ('The Lurking Man'). Hamer recruits his former partner Maney, who is living on the edge of the poverty line with his daughter and grandson. Together, Frank and Maney are tasked with stopping the murderous duo as they cross the Southern states and leave destruction in their wake.

'The Highwaymen' is a semi-biographical buddy-cop thriller directed by John Lee Hancock ('Saving Mr. Banks') and written by John Fusco ('The Forbidden Kingdom').
