As in the 1967 theatrical version of Truman Capote's classic book, this telefilm, based on actual events, is set in 1950's Kansas and involves two drifters, Dick Hickock and Perry Smith. At first, their intention is to burglarize the Clutter home, but ultimately, they savagely murder the entire family. A dedicated FBI agent who was a friend of the Clutters doggedly pursues the killers. This longer adaptation offers more insight into the various members of the close-knit Clutter family, making their grisly demise seem all the more tragic. (official distributor synopsis)
