Netflix's 'The Highwaymen': Release date, cast, plot and everything else about the Kevin Costner, Woody Harrelson film
The movie tells the story of two detectives who come back from retirement to hunt down the notorious duo
'The Highwaymen' is a Netflix film that tells the 'untold' true story behind the manhunt for partners in crime Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow, who reportedly committed 13 murders together in addition to bank robberies and burglaries.
The official story reported in 1934, when the two were killed by Texas and Louisiana state officers, was that the two were given protection by the Methvin Family in a remote county in southwest Louisiana. The officers ambushed the partners along the highway near Sailes, Louisiana.
The two were driving at 85 mph in a stolen Ford, and the officers shot them down, leaving no chance for their survival. The Netflix movie, however, veers away from this.
