About Highwaymen:
The story of legendary lawmen Frank Hamer and Manny Gault, veteran Texas Rangers who led the hunt for notorious Depression-era outlaws Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow. Though they’d hung up their badges by the time of the duo’s crime spree, the men were coaxed back by bank owners and commissioned as special investigators to assemble a posse. The movie stars Woody Harrelson and Kevin Costner.
