Gerald Chapman, a logical mind twisted toward crime, walks out of Sing Sing in 1919 swearing he's done with the underworld—only to immediately orchestrate one of the biggest mail truck robberies in history with accomplices Dutch Anderson and Charlie Loerber. But as Chapman and Anderson live high on their $2.45 million haul, Loerber's loose tongue draws the law down on them all, landing Chapman in federal prison with a 25-year sentence and a burning determination to escape. Watch as this criminal mastermind repeatedly tests the walls of Atlanta Penitentiary, each attempt more audacious than the last, until he finally slips through—only to discover that the real reckoning has only just begun.

Ned Kelly

For more than a decade, Ned Kelly and his gang have terrorized Australia as the continent's most wanted outlaws, robbing and evading capture at every turn—until a daring police pursuit and a betrayal force them into a final, desperate stand against Captain Hare and his mounted officers. Trapped and cornered, Kelly attempts an audacious last gambit, strapping makeshift armor to break through the police lines. This 1948 crime tale captures Kelly's rise and downfall as another cautionary chapter in the series' running moral: gangsters can't win.

Larry Fay

Larry Fay climbed from street-level hustler to bootlegger to nightclub owner to milk-racket kingpin, raking in hundreds of thousands and riding in an armored car—until the stock market crash of 1929 wiped him out, the law caught up with him, and he landed in prison. Released and broke, Fay finds himself managing the very club he once owned, when a disgruntled former associate comes looking to settle an old debt on New Year's Day, 1933. This hard-boiled cautionary tale tracks a racketeer's meteoric rise and inevitable fall, proving that the gangster life pays off only in bullets and heartbreak.
