   Natural Born Killers is a 1994 American satirical crime film directed by   
   Oliver Stone and starring Woody Harrelson, Juliette Lewis, Robert Downey Jr.,   
   Tom Sizemore, and Tommy Lee Jones. The film was released in the United States   
   on August 26, 1994. The    
   film tells the story of two victims of traumatic childhoods who became lovers   
   and mass murderers, and are irresponsibly glorified by the mass media.   
      
   The film is based on an original screenplay by Quentin Tarantino that was   
   heavily revised by writer David Veloz, associate producer Richard Rutowski,   
   and director Stone; Tarantino received story credit. Jane Hamsher, Don Murphy,   
   and Clayton Townsend    
   produced the film, with Arnon Milchan, Thom Mount, and Stone as executive   
   producers.   
      
   The film was released theatrically on August 26, 1994 in the United States,   
   February 24, 1995 and premiered on Venice Film Festival on August 29, 1994.   
   The film was a box office success, grossing over $50 million against a   
   production budget of $34    
   million, and received generally mixed to positive reviews, who praised the   
   cast's performances, the movie's humor, plot, and combination of action and   
   romance, but found the film much too violent and graphic. Notorious for its   
   violent content and    
   inspiring "copycat" crimes, the film was named the eighth most controversial   
   film in history by Entertainment Weekly in 2006.[3]

   (November 2015) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)   
   Prologue   
   Mickey Knox and his wife Mallory stop at a diner in the New Mexico desert. A   
   duo of rednecks arrive and one begins sexually harassing Mallory while she is   
   dancing. She briefly encourages him before beating him to a pulp, screaming   
   "how sexy am I now, huh    
   flirty boy?". Mickey and Mallory then murder all but one of the diner's   
   patrons, and one customer, culminating in a morbid game of Eeny, meeny, miny,   
   moe to decide who lives and dies. After executing the waitress Mabel, the   
   couple ensures that the only    
   survivor remembers their names so that he can pass on the legend of Mickey and   
   Mallory before they embrace and declare their undying love.   
      
   Part I   
   Mickey and Mallory camp out in the desert, and Mallory reminisces about when   
   they first met. A flashback (done in the style of a TV sitcom, including a   
   laughtrack) shows Mickey as a meat deliveryman who came to the house where   
   Mallory lived with her    
   sexually abusive father, her neglectful mother, and her younger brother,   
   Kevin. Mickey and Mallory fall in love instantly and leave together, stealing   
   Mallory's fathers' car. Soon Mickey is arrested and imprisoned for auto theft,   
   but he subsequently    
   escapes from a prison work farm during a tornado and returns to Mallory's   
   house. The two kill Mallory's parents, but spare Kevin. Mallory's father is   
   beaten and then drowned in the fish tank while her mother is tied to her bed   
   and set on fire. Mickey and    
   Mallory then go on the road together and get "married" on the side of a   
   bridge, celebrating by taking a hostage. Furious with Mickey's notion that   
   they have a threesome, Mallory drives to a nearby gas station, where she   
   flirts with the mechanic. They    
   begin to have sex on the hood of a car, but Mallory kills him when he   
   recognizes her as a wanted killer. During this time, Mickey rapes the hostage.   
      
   Part II   
   The pair continue their killing spree, ultimately claiming fifty-two victims   
   in New Mexico, Arizona, and Nevada. Pursuing them is Detective Jack Scagnetti,   
   who became obsessed with mass murderers after witnessing his mother being shot   
   and killed by    
   Charles Whitman when he was eight. Beneath his heroic facade, he is a violent   
   psychopath. The audience witnesses Scagnetti violently strangle a prostitute   
   to death. The killers are also followed by self-serving tabloid journalist   
   Wayne Gale. Gale    
   profiles Mickey and Mallory on his show, American Maniacs, soon elevating them   
   to cult hero status.   
      
   Mickey and Mallory get lost in the desert after taking psychedelic mushrooms.   
   They come across a ranch where they encounter Warren Red Cloud, a Navajo   
   Indian, and his young grandson. The Navajo provides them with food and   
   shelter. After the two fall    
   asleep, the Navajo, hoping to expel the demon he perceives in Mickey, begins   
   chanting beside the fire. This invokes nightmares in Mickey about his abusive   
   parents. Mickey wakes up in a panicked rage and fatally shoots Red Cloud   
   before he realizes what he    
   is doing. Mallory wakes up to the sound of the gunshot and starts screaming at   
   Mickey for killing the man that sheltered them. This is the first time Mallory   
   and Mickey feel guilty for a murder. Fleeing from the scene, they step outside   
   of the house and    
   come across a field of rattlesnakes. Mallory doesn't see the snakes and gets   
   bitten first. Mickey lights a stick on fire to expose the snakes. While he is   
   trying to help Mallory he also gets bitten.
