'Catch Me If You Can'

Hanks, Spielberg, and DiCaprio are three of the big names as "Extra" gets a sneak peek at "Catch Me If You Can."

Based on a true story, Leonardo DiCaprio plays Frank Abagnale, the youngest man ever to make the FBI's most wanted list. He was a con artist who impersonated an airline pilot, a doctor, an assistant attorney general, and a history professor, cashing more than $2.5 million in fraudulent checks.

With an FBI agent, played by Hanks, hot on his trail, Spielberg says he loved directing this true story of a real fake. He says, "He's sort of in this cat and mouse race. This viscous circle of chasing this mouse, which is much more clever than the cat."

And while Leo pulls off a string of aliases in the film, "Alias" star Jennifer Garner co-stars as a conspirator.

So make a date with DiCaprio this Christmas. That is, if you can catch him.
