Irving Rosenfeld (Christian Bale) runs a chain of dry cleaners...and a side business where he cons people out of their money. He meets, falls in love with, and recruits Sydney Prosser (Amy Adams) into his con game. The only source of conflict in their life is Irving's batty wife Rosalyn (Jennifer Lawrence) until FBI agent Richie DiMaso (Bradley Cooper) busts the pair. He agrees to give them immunity if they help him nab some other con men, but the job quickly snowballs as DiMaso pursues corruption conviction on politicians, including the Mayor of Camden, New Jersey, Carmine Polito (Jeremy Renner).![]()
