"American Hustle": Enter Jennifer Lawrence

Sneak Peek more footage and images of Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence in director David O. Russell's dramatic crime feature, "American Hustle",  co-starring Christian Bale and Amy Adams.

The film is loosely based on the FBI 'ABSCAM' operation of the late 1970's and early '80s:

"...In 1978, con artists 'Irving Rosenfeld' (Bale) and 'Sydney Prosser' (Adams) have met, started a relationship, and are working together.

"Sydney has improved Irving’s scams, posing as British aristocrat 'Lady Edith Greensley'.

"They are a well-matched couple, but Irving is reluctant to leave his adoptive son with wife 'Rosalyn' (Jennifer Lawrence), who will not divorce him.

"FBI agent 'Richie DiMaso' (Bradley Cooper) catches Irving and Sydney in a loan scam but offers to release them if Irving can line up four additional arrests..."
