Synopsis

Kit is a 25-year-old trashman who fashions himself as James Dean. When he meets Holly, a cute, innocent 15-year-old, he finds himself falling in love with her. Her father, an overprotective widower, will not allow the relationship to blossom, even after Kit informs him of his decent intentions. This refusal triggers Kit into embarking on a murder spree across the Midwest. All the while, Holly is there by Kit's side, to witness the senseless crimes and ponder the future. Badlands is told from the point of view of the naive Holly, whose voice-over sounds like she's reading from a serial romance. It is this innocence that makes the detached, cold killings all the more shocking.
