Item Description

In 1959 Kit (Martin Sheen) who has killed several people and his new girlfriend Holly (Sissy Spacek) who watched him do it are adrift in a double fantasy of crime and punishment across South Dakota and Montana. They're playing make-believe but the bullets and bloodshed are very real. ; ; The first of writer/director Terrence Malick's three landmark films (1978's 'Days of Heaven' and 1998's 'The Thin Red Line' are the others) was inspired by a real life 1958 Midwestern killing spree.

Beautifully shot and memorably acted 'Badlands' is a spellbinding journey…
