Watch American Hustle

Set in the late 70s con man Irving Rosenfeld (Christian Bale) meets a young woman, Sydney Prosser (Amy Adams). The two join forces, pretending to be an investment firm, and in turn steal investors money. Richie Di Maso ( Bradley Cooper) is an FBI agent who busts the con artist couple. De Maso forces the couple to help him con corrupt politicians and the mayor of Camden New Jersey. His plot forces the couple to deal with corrupt politicians and vicious mobster Victor Tellegio (Robert De Niro). They are faced with helping him or going to prison.

As De Maso's plan unfolds the relationship he has with Rosenfeld and Prosser puts a strain on their own relationship. They are faced with conflicts of morality. The movie is a classic caper movie with plenty of twists and surprises.
