A sometimes confusing but very funny film American Hustle dares to go where no other con artist film goes!

Irving Rosenfeld and his partner Sydney Prosser are minding their own business harmlessly conning people who can not get credit anywhere, when their world is interrupted by the FBI and agent Richie DiMaso.

The FBI offer is simple: work for us or face lots of years in Gaol. What follows is a trail of sting operations that involve Councillors to senators. One of the best things about this film are its outlandish seventies hairstyles and outfits which have to be seen to be believed!
