Based on David Grann’s non-fiction 2017 novel of the same name, the story investigates the harrowing murders of Osage people in Oklahoma during the 1920s.

The narrative stitches together tales of true love and unimaginable betrayal.
Described as an “epic western crime saga,” the film portrays the Osage Nation’s sudden riches from the oil industry, attracting opportunistic individuals who manipulated and stole their wealth before resorting to murder.
In addition to the lead actors, the ensemble cast includes Jesse Plemons, Tantoo Cardinal, John Lithgow, Brendan Fraser, Cara Jade Myers, JaNae Collins, Jillian Dion, William Belleau, Louis Cancelmi, Tatanka Means, Michael Abbot Jr., Pat Healy, Scott Shepard, Jason Isbell, and Sturgill Simpson.
