By chance, Evan (Christian Bale) met the sexy and glamorous stripper Sidney (Amy Adams). The two like-minded people fell in love at first sight, and soon became hot. Unexpectedly, Evan was a professional liar. Under the influence of his agitation and the "power of love", Sidney resolutely joined the group, and the two teamed up to make the "career" successful.
However, there are often no wet shoes when walking along the river. The police have already focused on Evan and Sidney, who acted rather high-profilely, and finally captured the two in a carefully planned operation. Unable to withstand the lobbying and temptation of FBI agent Rich (Bradley Cooper played by Bradley Cooper), Evan and Sidney decided to cooperate with them and "put crime and merit." Despite picking up the "old business", this time, Evan and Sidney were clearly on the side of justice, because their opponents were corrupt officials who were bribing the law and breaking the law.

American Hustle quotes

  • Irving Rosenfeld: I'm like the fucking Vietcong, man, all right? I'm in and I'm out. I was there the whole time. You don't know it, all right? That's the fuckin' art of becoming somebody who people can pin their beliefs and their dreams on.

  • [last lines]

    Irving Rosenfeld: We took down some very big guys. Some of whom, they were just doing business as usual, helping their communities or their states, but some of them knew they had larceny in their blood, and they even admitted it. But in all, it was six congressmen, one United States senator, and my friend Carmine Polito. We gave the two million back, so that Carmine got a reduced sentence, 18 months. The loss of his friendship would haunt me the rest of my life. When the story was written, Richie DiMaso's name was never mentioned. Syd and I, we moved in together. Rosalyn? She would always be interesting. Our conning days were behind us. You can fool yourself for just so long, that your next reinvention you better have your damn feet on the ground. We got a loan from a bank and were able to go gallery-legitimate. The art of survival, is a story that never ends.
