    The film Catch Me If You Can follows a young boy who flees his home after his parents' divorce. He sees potential in posing as a pilot or flight attendant and begins forging checks and documents to pretend to work in various professions. He is able to evade the police for some time by constantly changing identities, but is eventually caught. The film depicts how technology has made identity theft more difficult today compared to the past when communication was less reliable and guidelines were less strict, allowing the main character to exploit these conditions. It also examines the psychological aspects of his shifting identities and pleasure-seeking behavior.

    Abagnale lives in Charleston, South Carolina, with his wife Kelly, whom he met while working
    undercover for the FBI. They have three sons, Scott, Chris, and Sean.[36] Scott works for the FBI.

    Abagnale cites meeting his wife as the motivation for changing his life. He told author Paul Stenning,
    "She met me as someone else with a completely different background and when the assignment was
    over I had broken protocol, because you're never supposed to do this, but I told her who I really was
    because I wanted to continue to see her. She accepted what I told her and eventually we got married
    and have been married ever since."[37]

    Abagnale and Joseph Shea, the FBI agent on whom the character of Carl Hanratty (played by Tom Hanks)
    was based in the film, Catch Me If You Can, remained close friends until Shea's death.[38][39]
