Don't Miss the Transformations of Five Hot, Talented Actors

The film, generating buzz in the Academy Awards race currently heating up in the U.S., has arrived in Japan. 'American Hustle' is the new film from director David O. Russell, who has earned consecutive Best Picture and Best Director nominations for 'The Fighter' (6 nominations) and 'Silver Linings Playbook' (8 nominations).


Based on the "Abscam" corruption scandal that actually took place in the late 1970s, the story follows a con artist, asked to cooperate with an investigation by an FBI agent, as they set a trap for politicians in an undercover operation, depicting the intricate game of deception.

The cast features five hot, talented actors. Christian Bale of 'The Dark Knight' plays the genius con artist. Bradley Cooper, who appeared in 'Silver Linings Playbook,' portrays the unconventional FBI agent. The film also brings together a star-studded cast of Oscar regulars, including Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner, and Jennifer Lawrence. Their transformations, embodying the classic and glamorous fashion of the 1970s, are also a must-see.

A Genius Con Artist and His Mistress Forced to Cooperate in an Investigation in Exchange for Freedom

Irving Rosenfeld, a genius con artist who has been pulling off perfect crimes, and his business partner and lover, Sydney, are finally arrested. FBI agent Richie forces them to cooperate with an investigation in exchange for their freedom.


It was a dangerous operation to trap politicians and mafia figures swarming over Atlantic City's casino interests by using a fake Arab sheikh. The target is Mayor Carmine. However, Irving's wife, Rosalyn, begins to interfere with the investigation out of jealousy towards Irving and Sydney...

Five people deceiving each other until the very last second. Who will escape in the end? You won't be able to take your eyes off the clever hustles (scams) deployed through every trick imaginable!
