The Story
Maverick director Oliver Stone took Quentin Tarantino's script and turned it into one of the most controversial and violent epics of madness to ever hit celluoid. Natural Born Killers tells the complete reciprocal love tale that True Romance did, except twisted on an acid trip. The film follows the exploits of two psychotic serial murderers, Mickey and Mallory Knox, in love and on the lam along route 666. When the media follows the couple, leading to their arrest in prison, the tale becomes less about them and more about the world's seething penchant for violence.
