Description
Catch Me If You Can is one of the most beloved crime movies ever made, but was this allegedly “true story” one big con job? The Steven Spielberg directed classic starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks tells the unbelievable life of con artist Frank Abagnale Jr., but evidence suggests many of Abagnale’s famous scams may never have happened at all.
In this episode of Weird History, we dig deep into the facts to expose the embellishments, myths and outright lies behind Catch Me If You Can... and the real story just may make you believe that the truth really is stranger than fiction.
Are you a fan of Catch Me If You Can? And if so, do you believe what the movie has to say about Frank Abagnale Jr.'s life? Let us know in the comments.
(Much like real history, this video was produced entirely by human beings.)
