The cast for American Hustle also includes Jeremy Renner, Jack Huston, Louis CK and Michael Peña. The film centres on a con-artist couple, played by Bale and Adams, who are forced to work with a wayward federal agent (Cooper) to turn the tables on other shysters, gangsters and (in particular) corrupt politicians. It is loosely based on the FBI's real-life Abscam sting, which led to the conviction of a senator and five members of the US House of Representatives on charges of bribery and conspiracy between 1978 and 1980.The cast for American Hustle also includes Jeremy Renner, Jack Huston, Louis CK and Michael Peña.

Tsarnaev, 19, was arrested on 19 April in the Watertown area of Boston, a day after a violent gun battle with police that left his brother Tamerlan, 26, dead. The brothers are suspected of planting pressure-cooker bombs that killed three and injured more than 180 at the Boston marathon a week ago.Tsarnaev, 19, was arrested on 19 April in the Watertown area of Boston, a day after a violent gun battle with police that left his brother Tamerlan, 26, dead.
