Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow had been on a year-long crime spree, leaving a trail of dead bodies in their wake, yet were little more than a local curiosity until photos of the couple were discovered at a hastily abandoned hideout in 1933. Overnight, the country became transfixed by the scandalous images and press accounts of their improbable escapes and illicit romance. But their newfound notoriety would force the outlaw lovers to take even greater risks as the hunt to capture them kicked into overdrive.
Discover the true story of the most famous outlaw couple in US history. Though their exploits were romanticized, the Barrow gang was believed responsible for at least 13 murders, including two policemen, as well as robberies and kidnappings.
