The true story of Americas most successful bank robbers. From 1919 to 1924, they robbed over eighty banks from Texas to Canada, capping their career with Americas largest train robbery, a three million dollar mail train heist outside of Chicago.

True to their aims, they never killed anyone in spite o
f the mayhem they caused, stealing "more money than Jesse James, Butch, Sundance, Bonnie and Clyde and the Dalton brothers put together," says leader Willis Newton. |
