1900-luvun alussa öljy vaurastutti Osage-kansaa. Heistä tuli yhden yön aikana yksiä maailman rikkaimmista ihmisistä. Alkuperäiskansan vauraus herätti mielenkiintoa valkoisissa onnenonkijoissa, jotka manipuloivat, kiristivät ja varastivat Osageilta niin paljon kuin kykenivät, kunnes lopulta turvautuivat murhiin.

An epic elegy of greed, betrayal, and murder, Martin Scorsese’s masterly adaptation of David Grann’s true-crime best seller unfolds in 1920s Oklahoma, where the discovery of oil brings extraordinary wealth to the Osage people. Into their world comes ne’er-do-well army veteran Ernest Burkhart (Leonardo DiCaprio), who joins his duplicitous uncle (Robert De Niro) in a horrifying scheme to rob the Osage of their money and land. Lily Gladstone charges the film with her transcendent performance as Burkhart’s Osage wife, Mollie Kyle, gradually awakening to the evil that surrounds her. With Killers of the Flower Moon, Scorsese brings a dark chapter of American history to the screen with gripping narrative power and a profound feeling for the weight of systemic injustice.
