Killers of the Flower Moon is based on the David Grann non-fiction book Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI. The film centers on the murders of Osage Nation members in the 1920s after oil was discovered on tribal land.

"Based on a true story and told through the improbable romance of Ernest Burkhart (DiCaprio) and Mollie Kyle (Lily Gladstone), Killers of the Flower Moon is an epic western crime saga, where real love crosses paths with unspeakable betrayal," an official synopsis reads.

Robert De Niro and Jesse Plemons also star.

Killers of the Flower Moon is written by Martin Scorsese and Eric Roth and directed by Scorsese. The film hails from Apple Studios and was produced by Imperative Entertainment, Sikelia Productions and Appian Way.
