Killers of the Flower Moon plot

The Killers of the Flower Moon plot is based on the 2017 novel of the same name. The plot of the movie explores a series of murders of people from the Osage Native American tribe in the 1920s.

From there, a complex story unfolds relating to oil deposits underneath Osage land, and the money that the Osage people are owed for selling the oil from the deposits. It also follows the newly formed FBI as it investigates the murders, and the subsequent trial of the suspected murderer.
