Throughout his illustrious career, Oscar winner Martin Scorsese has collaborated with many great actors but two in particular more than any others.....multiple Oscar winning Robert DeNiro and Oscar winner Leonardo DiCaprio.  But now for the first time in his career spanning more than five decades, Mr. Scorsese has finally directed a film starring BOTH of them.  And yet, the main star of this particular story might very well be Lily Gladstone playing Molly, a member of the Osage trip in Oklahoma.  Taking place in Oklahoma roughly about a hundred years ago shortly after the discovery of MASSIVE reserves of oil in lands where one particular First Nation tribe had been sent, Molly's family has been one of several from this tribe to have struck gold.....well black gold to be exact....otherwise known as oil. 

And even as she starts to fall in love with DiCaprio's Ernest, Molly finds herself and the rest of her family on the other end of a murderous conspiracy to take over the oil.....lead by Ernest's uncle, a local sheriff played by DeNiro.  What results is a brutal, unflinching tale of greed, love, and betrayal ALL based on true events - this was adapted from David Grann's highly acclaimed non-fiction novel of the same name.
