Bonnie & Clyde tells the story of fugitives, Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow. In the midst of the Great Depression, the couple found notoriety. Frustrated by their ordinary and poor life, they dream of an exciting life like in the cinema.
After escaping from prison, Clyde meets Bonnie. Their cravings for fame and thrills lead them to a life of crime and on the run. Despite their families being tortured, the couple embark on a series of armed robberies, continually avoiding the police and becoming even more famous than they hoped to be.
They are soon joined by Clyde's brother Buck, and the "Barrow Gang" is planning increasingly ambitious flights. As their fame and ambition grows, their inevitable fate draws near. When Buck is killed by the police during an escape, Bonnie and Clyde decide to return to their family. This decision leads them directly into the police firing line and they are both shot in the car.
