Yes indeed. It is the "inspired by a true story" tale; Catch Me If You Can.
It's the story of Frank Abagnale Jnr, played by the lovely Leonardo di Caprio. Abagnale is a mature-looking teenager who spent the 1960s as a conman, passing himself off as an airline pilot to get free flights. Also holding down a job as supervisor in an Emergency Room.
Then he even passes a bar exam after only two weeks' study. All the while he is dealing in forged cheques.
As his illicit earnings spiral up above 4 million dollars, Frank is dogged by FBI agent Hanratty (Tom Hanks), a plodder who begins to have a relationship with his quarry. Abagnale even takes to politely ringing Hanratty every Christmas, just to catch up.
Loved this film, which is not surprising, as it stars Tom Hanks. And I'll say it again; "I've never seen a bad Tom Hanks film"!
If you haven't seen it, get it now!
