菲利普賽摩霍夫曼主演,已故的同性戀作家卡波提的傳記電影。 1959年11月,楚門柯波帝,美國文學史上最具爭議性的同性戀作家,無意間在紐約時報看到一則駭人的滅門新聞-堪薩斯州一個寧靜小鎮,一家四口被冷血的殺害,無一倖免,這則新聞吸引了楚門柯波帝的興趣,他說服紐約時報的編輯,讓他前往採訪。 稍後兩位冷血兇手被捕,坦承他們與被害人毫無關係,竟然可以為了搶不到100塊美金而動手殺人,極端殘暴。柯波帝在採訪兩位兇手的過程中,逐漸發現兩人悲慘的童年,與自己從小因為可笑的娃娃音、同性戀身份、和驚世駭俗的言行,在成長過程中遭受社會歧視的處境,有幾分相似,不禁同情起兩人的遭遇,他開始懷疑自己能不能抱持著超然的態度寫完這個故事,他在良知與為達目的不擇手段的立場間掙扎,他的故事需要一個結局,而最完美的結局,似乎就是把殺人兇手送上絞刑台……。 最後兇手伏法,柯波帝也完成了他的曠世鉅作「冷血」,這部小說成為美國文學史上重要的里程碑,但楚門柯波帝也沒有再發表過任何作品。
