Warner Home Video Badlands DVD English

Martin Sheen and Sissy Spacek play young lovers on a shooting spree across 1950s South Dakota in Terrence Malick's turbulent, gut-grabbing masterwork, Badlands.

Kit Carruthers, a young garbage collector and his girlfriend Holly Sargis from Fort Dupree, South Dakota, are on the run after killing Holly's father who disagrees with their relationship. On their way towards the Badlands of Montana they leave a trail of dispassionate and seemingly random murders.

An intriguing narrative without judgements, and lacking the usual sensational approach of the genre. The script was based upon the true story of the Charles Starkweather and Caril-Ann Fugate murders of 1958.
