The Black Dahlia weaves a fictionalized tale of obsession, love, corruption, greed and depravity around the brutal murder of a fledgling Hollywood starlet that shocked and fascinated the nation in 1947 and remains unsolved today. Two ex-pugilist cops, Lee Blanchard (Aaron Eckhart) and Bucky Bleichert (josh Hartnett), are called to investigate the homicide of ambitious silver-screen B-lister Betty Ann Short (Mia Kirshner) A.K.A. “The Black Dahlia” — an attack so grisly that images of the killing were kept from the public.
While Blanchard’s growing preoccupation with the sensational murder threatens his relationship with Kay (Scarlett Johansson), his partner Bleichert find himself attracted to enigmatic Madeline Linscott (Hilary Swank), the daughter of one of the city’s most prominent families — who just happens to have an unsavory connection to the murder victim.
True crime meets urban legend as The Black Dahlia comes to the big screen.
