Set in 1969 Los Angeles, the film follows Rick Dalton, a declining Western TV star, and his loyal stunt double Cliff Booth as they struggle to find their footing in a rapidly changing Hollywood. The story unfolds alongside the real-life presence of Sharon Tate, Rick's glamorous neighbor, weaving fiction and history together in Tarantino's signature style. The film ultimately builds to a revisionist, darkly comedic reimagining of the infamous Manson Family murders.
