John Dillinger's reign as Public Enemy No. 1 began in the summer of 1933, when he left the Commercial Bank of Daleville, Indiana, with $3,500 and a diamond ring belonging to the bank president's daughter. It was the depth of the Depression. Banks were closing everywhere, and millions of Americans were losing their life savings. To them, Dillinger's act made him a sort of hero, even a modern-day Robin Hood. Within the next year, he would go on to rob ten banks and break out of two jails, one of them theoretically "escape-proof...Many a man fell on both sides in the effort to capture-and keep imprisoned-the incorrigible Johnnie D."

Sam Bonner is a household name. He spent his life within the best-known circles of Hollywood. His name on a film guaranteed a gross of millions. Every actor and actress wanted to star in a Bonner film, and Bonner's casting choices made or broke careers; after all, he controlled the game. Success was so easy for him but in the bicentennial summer of 1976, a nation turned two hundred, and Sam's game has plateued. On the road with his third wife, Sara, Sam crosses the American West, seeing the places where some of his greatest works were made. Traveling between Fresno, California, where Sam shows Sara the place of his birth, Lake Tahoe where they pick pine cones for Christmas tree ornaments, Sam and Sara keep on moving, knowing the ornaments are for a tree that Sara may never live to see.

In the summer of 1960 a legendary director took a cast of movie icons into the Nevada desert to make a movie from a screenplay by a famed playwright. The Misfits was one of the most anticipated films of the 20th century, but difficult shooting locations, an unstable leading lady, an aging leading man, a crumbling marriage, and an undisciplined director all conspired to make behind-the-scene events as dramatic as the movie itself.
