The Black Dahlia Movie Synopsis: A fictionalized tale of obsession, love, corruption, greed and depravity centering on 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) - also known as '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 finds himself attracted to the enigmatic Madeleine Linscott (two-time Oscar winner (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.
