The Highwaymen (2019)
In 1934, after two years on the run, criminals Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow break several associates out of Texas’ Eastham Prison Farm. Texas Department of Corrections Chief Lee Simmons persuades Governor “Ma” Ferguson to hire former Texas Ranger Frank Hamer to track down the criminals. Reluctant to leave retirement and his wife Gladys, Hamer joins the manhunt after the fugitive gang is involved in a devastating shootout in Missouri, and he recruits his former partner, Benjamin Maney Gault. Information from FBI wiretapping of the fugitives’ families leads Hamer and Gault to conclude that Bonnie and Clyde are returning “home” to Dallas.
Watching Bonnie’s mother’s house, they see a man throw a bottle into her yard, which is soon thrown back, but a boy escapes with it. Dismissing the Rangers’ theory, the FBI believe the fugitives are in Brownsville. Hamer and Gault meet with Dallas Sheriff “Smoot” Schmid, who introduces them to Deputy Sheriff Ted Hinton, a childhood friend of Bonnie and Clyde who can identify them on sight. The gang kills two policemen in nearby Grapevine; Hamer and Gault investigate the scene and determine that Bonnie has a rabbit, which Hinton suggests is a present for a family member.
