#30: Public Enemies
Set Piece: Victory Gardens’ Biograph Theatre
Location: Chicago, Illinois
Production Budget: $80 million*
This thrilling action-drama from 2009, Public Enemies, takes us deep into the world of crime in early 1900s America. Johnny Depp shines as John Dillinger, a notorious bank robber who, despite his lawlessness, wins over the public with his daring and charm.

One standout moment is Dillinger’s demise scene at the Victory Gardens Biograph Theatre. F.B.I. Agent Charles Winstead fired the shots on-screen in real life, ending Dillinger’s reign. The retro theatre is still up and running, drawing in loads of fans and history buffs.
