- The true-crime thriller ends on a radio show that breezes through the fallout of the Osage Nation murders.
Based on investigative journalist David Grann's book of the same name, Martin Scorsese's latest film, "Killers of the Flower Moon," follows the mysterious and grisly murders that terrorized the Osage Nation during the 1920s. The community was targeted for its oil wealth and an FBI investigation, led by Tom White (Jesse Plemons), cracked the case.
Of the more than 60 deaths that occurred during the "Reign of Terror," the movie hones in on community member Mollie Kyle (Lily Gladstone) and the consecutive, suspicious deaths of her family members between 1918 and 1923 after her future husband Ernest Burkhart (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his uncle, William King Hale (Robert De Niro), entered their lives with the intent to inherit their fortune.
The movie culminates in a trial, with Ernest outing Hale as the orchestrator behind many of the murders that play out on-screen.
After a tense, final conversation between Ernest and his wife, the movie pivots to a staged radio broadcast which quickly zips through what happened to all of the characters. Here's what happened to the main players.
