The film follows the trail of Smith and Hickock: they kill the Clutter family in Kansas, go on the run, are found and caught by the police, and soon thereafter, are tried and executed. Although the film is in parts faithful to the book, Brooks created a fictional character, "The Reporter" (played by Paul Stewart). Happen in November 1959. Both men concoct a plan to invade the home of the Clutter family, as Mr. Clutter was supposedly keeps a large supply of cash on-hand in a safe. While the two criminals felt that their plan for the robbery was sound, it quickly unravels, resulting in the murder of Mr. and Mrs. Clutter, as well as two of their teenage children. The bodies of the Clutter family are discovered the next day, and a police investigation is immediately launched.
As the investigation builds, the two wanted men continue to elude law enforcement by traveling to Mexico, but return and decide to travel to Las Vegas to win some money at gambling where they are arrested for parole violation and passing bad checks. The police separetly talk to the both men to see if they confess, they even "signed there own work."
