Di Caprio is Ernest Burkhart, a World War One veteran who ends up looking for work at the Oklahoma ranch of his uncle, William “King” Hale (Robert De Niro). He ends up as a driver for Mollie (Lily Gladstone), a member of the Osage Nation, an indigenous people’s tribe who kept their oil rights and collect checks for those rights every month, making them the richest tribe per capita in the country. Ernest falls in love with Mollie, and ends up marrying her. When members of the Osage Nation start to be mysteriously killed, the early days of the FBI steps in, represented by Tom White (Jesse Plemons). Can this lawlessness be stopped?
