    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Steven Spielberg was initially reluctant to approach Tom Hanks about taking the part of Carl Hanratty, assuming that he wouldn't be interested in playing a supporting part at this stage in his career. Hanks put him straight by saying that a good part was a good part no matter the size.
    • Goofs
      While Frank and Carl are flying back to the US Frank looks out the window and tells Carl that they are over Fiorello LaGuardia Airport and runway Number 44. All runway ends are painted/labeled based on the compass direction or bearing it is facing or heading. A Due North is runway "36", meaning 360 degrees and the opposite end marked "18", for 180 degrees. Runway numbers include 1 to 36. No runway 44 exists.
    • Quotes
      • Frank Abagnale Sr.: Two little mice fell in a bucket of cream. The first mouse quickly gave up and drowned. The second mouse, wouldn't quit. He struggled so hard that eventually he churned that cream into butter and crawled out. Gentlemen, as of this moment, I am that second mouse.
    • Crazy credits
      During the first thirty seconds of the credits we hear the FBI typewriters.
    • Alternate versions
      In the French language version of the film, Frank teaches his high school Spanish class instead of French.
