'American Hustle' Trailer [VIDEO]: Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence, Christian Bale & Amy Adams 1970's 'Abscam' FBI Sting Movie

Director David O. Russell has reunited with some of his favorite actors for his newest film American Hustle. Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence just came off of the success of Silver Linings Playbook and Christian Bale and Amy Adams are back together after The Fighter. David O. Russell's new film takes place in the 1970s, focusing on the interesting story around an FBI sting operation called "Abscam."

Here is the synopsis of the new film:

"The story of a con artist and his partner in crime, who were forced to work with a federal agent to turn the tables on other cons, mobsters, and politicians - namely, the volatile mayor of impoverished Camden, New Jersey."

The film stars Christian Bale, Bradley Cooper, Jeremy Renner, Amy Adams, Louis C.K., Jennifer Lawrence, Alessandro Nivola, Elisabeth Rohm, Dawn Olivieri, Jack Huston, Michael Pena and Robert De Niro.

According to SlashFilm: Bale is Irving Rosenfeld, "a brilliant Bronx con-man whose specialization in stolen art catches the attention of unhinged FBI agent Richie DiMaso (Bradley Cooper)." So they're the two principals in the operation, which also involves Rosenfeld's lover Sydney (Amy Adams), Rosenfeld's Long Island wife (Jennifer Lawrence) and Carmine Polito, "a volatile New Jersey mayor" played by Jeremy Renner.

American Hustle was filming during the tragic Boston Marathon bombings in April. "We were shooting in an outlying area that day," Russell recalled. "Christian Bale's wife was the first one to get through to him (on set). It was very surreal. It was very upsetting."
