Catch Me If You Can: The True Story of a Real Fake

Catch Me If You Can is the incredible true story of Frank W. Abagnale, one of the most daring con men, forgers, impostors, and escape artists in history. Abagnale, who assumed multiple aliases including Frank Williams, Robert Conrad, Frank Adams, and Ringo Monjo, lived a life full of adventure and deception.

Before he turned twenty-one, Abagnale had:

  • Donned a pilot's uniform and co-piloted a Pan Am jet
  • Masqueraded as a hospital management member
  • Practised law without a license
  • Passed himself off as a college sociology professor
  • Cashed over $2.5 million in forged checks

Known as 'The Skywayman', Abagnale's escapades took him across the globe, allowing him to live a lavish lifestyle on the run until the law finally caught up with him. His story is a hilarious and thrilling account of deceit and ingenuity that reads like fiction.
