Summary
In 1969 Los Angeles, fading television star Rick Dalton struggles to adapt to a changing Hollywood landscape while relying on his loyal stunt double and close friend Cliff Booth. As Dalton attempts to revive his career, his neighbour Sharon Tate enjoys the height of her rising fame. The lives of the fictional protagonists gradually intersect with the real-life Manson Family, culminating in an alternate-history finale that dramatically reimagines the events surrounding the Tate murders.
Fun Facts
Quentin Tarantino spent years researching Los Angeles in 1969, meticulously recreating hundreds of storefronts, billboards and streets to authentically capture the city's appearance during the era. Brad Pitt won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance as Cliff Booth, marking the first acting Oscar of his career. Like 'Inglourious Basterds', the film uses an alternate-history narrative, rewriting a notorious historical event in a way that has become one of Tarantino's signature storytelling techniques.
