Bonnie and Clyde

In 1930s Texas, young Bonnie falls for Clyde, a daring gangster, and decides to join him on his criminal spree. Bonnie and Clyde is not only Arthur Penn's masterpiece but also the manifesto of New Hollywood. Warren Beatty portrays Clyde as impotent and delightfully antiheroic, while Bonnie emerges as a determined heroine in control of her destiny—traits that sharply contrast with the classic archetypes of gangster films.
