SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary Killers of the Flower Moon is the enigmatic title of Martin Scorcese's latest film that means something different to the Osage Nation and the historical drama's plot. Based on the nonfiction book by Daniel Grann, Killers of the Flower Moon's true story exposes a shameful period in American history when over 80 Osage were killed in Oklahoma over their oil headrights.
