Charles Starkweather and Caril Fugate, the story that inspired the Movie Badlands: Directed by Terrence Malick. Badlands was loosely based on a series of murders by two young Americans. Charles Starkweather and Caril Fugate killed Caril's family and a number of other people who had the misfortune to get in their way. While the movie is in no way a documentary, many of the details are taken directly from the true story.
Badlands are common in South Dakota west of the Missouri River, in the area known as the Missouri Plateau. Badlands formations often occur along the bluffs of the larger river valleys or on the sides of sizable buttes.ust west of the Little Missouri River, at the headwaters of the Moreau River, is an area known as the Jump Off badlands. Smaller areas of badlands can also be found along the edges of the Slim Buttes and Cave Hills and in the valleys of the Grand and Moreau Rivers.
