Bonnie and Clyde is a 1967 film starring Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway that depicts the real life story of notorious bank robbers Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker. At the time of its opening, the film was seen as incredibly controversial due to its graphic depictions of violence and gore. While the film simplifies many of the facts surrounding the case, the Athur Penn directed movie went on to win two Academy Awards and became one of the most highly-regarded movies of all time. The film's climatic scene, in which Bonnie and Clyde are cornered by police, is one of the most talked about scenes in modern cinema.
