The film's leads are Mickey Knox (Woody Harrelson) and his bride Mallory (Juliette Lewis). To quote "Bonnie and Clyde" — "They're young, they're in love, and they kill people."

A former actress who claims Tom Sizemore groped her when she was 11 is reportedly suing the actor for $3 million.
The Utah woman filed a lawsuit on Monday claiming that the alleged incident occurred during production of the movie Born Killers in 2003 and caused her permanent damage, including post-traumatic stress and addiction to drugs and alcohol, according to multiple reports.
A spokesperson for the actor did not immediately return People’s request for comment, but when members of the crew and cast resurfaced the allegations last year, Sizemore called them “highly disturbing” and said he would never inappropriately touch a child.
