Killers of the Flower Moon is a 2023 American epic Western crime drama film directed by Martin Scorsese and written by Eric Roth, based on the 2017 non-fiction book of the same name by David Grann. It tells the story of the Osage Nation murders, a series of murders of Osage members and relations in the Osage Nation after oil was being produced on tribal land. Tribal members had retained mineral rights on their reservation, and whites sought to gain their wealth.

The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio as Ernest Burkhart, a rancher who marries into the Osage Nation and becomes involved in the murders, and Robert De Niro as William Hale, the FBI agent tasked with investigating the crimes. Lily Gladstone, Jesse Plemons, Tantoo Cardinal, and Cara Jade Myers also star.

Plot:

In the 1920s, the Osage Nation in Oklahoma is one of the wealthiest people per capita in the world, due to the discovery of oil on their reservation. However, this wealth also makes them a target for greedy whites who want to steal their land and money.

Ernest Burkhart (DiCaprio) is a rancher who marries into the Osage Nation. He soon becomes wealthy himself, thanks to his wife's mineral rights. However, Burkhart is also ambitious and ruthless, and he is not content with what he has.

When members of the Osage Nation begin to die mysteriously, the FBI is called in to investigate. William Hale (De Niro) is a veteran FBI agent who is assigned to the case. Hale is determined to solve the murders and bring the perpetrators to justice.

However, Hale's investigation is met with resistance from local law enforcement and politicians, who are corrupt and involved in the murders themselves. Hale must also contend with the fact that the Osage Nation is a sovereign nation, and the FBI does not have jurisdiction on their land.

Despite the challenges, Hale persists in his investigation. He eventually uncovers a conspiracy that reaches to the highest levels of government and business. Hale must now use all of his skills and resources to bring the killers to justice and protect the Osage Nation.

Killers of the Flower Moon is a powerful and disturbing film that tells the true story of a dark chapter in American history. It is also a testament to the resilience of the Osage Nation, who have overcome tremendous adversity to survive and thrive.
