VIDEO: First Look - Bradley Cooper in New Trailer for AMERICAN HUSTLE

A new trailer has been released for David O. Russell's upcoming AMERICAN HUSTLE, opening in select theaters in New York and Los Angeles on December 13 before going nationwide on Christmas Day. Get a first look below!

Set in the alluring world of one of the most famous scandals to rock the country, the film tells the story of brilliant con man Irving Rosenfeld (Christian Bale), who along with his equally cunning and seductive British partner Sydney Prosser (Amy Adams) is forced to work for a wild FBI agent Richie DiMaso (Bradley Cooper). DiMaso pushes them into a world of Jersey powerbrokers and mafia that's as dangerous as it is enchanting.

Jeremy Renner is Carmine Polito, the passionate, volatile, New Jersey political operator caught between the con-artists and Feds. Irving's unpredictable wife Rosalyn (Jennifer Lawrence) could be the one to pull the thread that brings the entire world crashing down. Like David O. Russell's previous films, "American Hustle" defies genre, hinging on raw emotion, and life and death stakes.
