At the center of both narratives is the sinister series of murders of members of the Osage Nation that took place in early 1920s Oklahoma. Known as the"Reign of Terror," the murders were committed at a point in time when the Osage were considered the richest people per capita in the world following the discovery of oil reserves under their land.
The movie, on the other hand, makes it clear pretty much from the start that Hale and Ernest are the ones behind the deadly conspiracy to profit off the Osage.
