The historical drama, which is based on David Grann’s non-fiction book, will open in limited theaters starting October 6 and then have a wide release on October 20. According to Collider, Wes Anderson’s Asteroid City and James Mangold’s Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny are also expected to premiere at Cannes this year.

Leonardo DiCaprio will headline the ensemble cast that includes Robert De Niro, Brendan Fraser, Jesse Plemons, Lily Gladstone, and John Lithgow. “When oil is discovered in 1920s Oklahoma under Osage Nation land, the Osage people are murdered one by one — until the FBI steps in to unravel the mystery,” reads the film’s official synopsis.

The film was produced alongside Imperative Entertainment, Sikelia Productions and Appian Way.
