Badlands (1973 film)

Badlands is a 1973 American crime drama film written, produced and directed by Terrence Malick in his feature directorial debut. It stars Martin Sheen and Sissy Spacek as Kit Carruthers, a 25 year old who goes on a killing spree, and his 15 year old girlfriend Holly Sargis, with Warren Oates and Ramon Bieri in support. The story is fictional but loosely based on the real life 1958 murder spree of Charles Starkweather and his girlfriend Caril Ann Fugate. Badlands was released to critical acclaim for its direction, cinematography, soundtrack and lead performances, and in 1993 it was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as culturally, historically or aesthetically significant.
