In meeting in Kansas, ex-cons Perry Smith and Dick Hickock are breaking several conditions of their respective paroles. The meeting, initiated by Dick, is to plan and eventually carry out a robbery based on information he had received from a fellow inmate about $10,000 cash being locked in a hidden safe in the home of the farming Clutter family of Holcomb, Kansas. After the robbery, they plan on going to Mexico permanently to elude capture by the police. Each brings a necessary personality to the partnership to carry out the plan, Dick who is the brash manipulator, Perry the outwardly more sensitive but unrealistic dreamer with a violent streak under the surface. Perry literally carries all his dreams in a large box he takes with him wherever he goes. The robbery does not go according to plan in any respect, the pair who ultimately hogtie and execute all four members of the Clutter family, only coming away from the home with $43 in cash. As Perry and Dick go on the run, a murder investigation ensues, led by Topeka based Detective Alvin Dewey. If Dewey and his team are able eventually to identify the pair as the murderers and capture them, they, if they understand the two, may get their much needed confessions in dividing and conquering. Perry and Dick's fates may also be regardless of who literally pulled the trigger. Out of control。关于电影《冷血》（1967）的十个冷知识。新新闻主义之绝唱。一个真实的记录。FIFF2丨DAY7《冷血》戛然而止却不可磨灭的残酷阴冷。从《冷 血》到《好血统》看到了什么。压抑的片子。【378】《冷血》——鲸鱼推荐872部好电影。一个镜头。 根据美国作家楚曼卡波堤著名的报告文学拍摄而成。导演采取黑白纪录片式的纪实手法，忠实地观察可以说是一个极其详尽和细腻的犯罪个案纪录。两名冷血罪犯如何在一个堪萨斯州的农家犯下冷血的灭门血案，直到两人被警方逮捕直至处刑。
