Plot

The film opens with Mickey Knox (Woody Harrelson) and his wife Mallory (Juliette Lewis) in a roadside café. The pair are initially seen to be normal customers, with Mickey buying pie and Mallory dancing to rock 'n' roll on the jukebox. A group of rednecks arrive and one of them begins dancing and flirting with Mallory. She encourages him for a moment, and then, without provocation, attacks him by smashing his beer bottle as he drinks from it. A fistfight breaks out between the two, with Mallory destroying the man. When the redneck's friend attempts to intervene, Mickey stabs him to death. Mickey and Mallory then proceed to massacre the café's patrons, culminating in a morbid game of Eeny-Meeny to decide who lives and who dies. After executing their final victim, the couple laugh at the sole survivor and make sure he remembers their names before they embrace and declare their undying love, as fireworks go off in the background.
