Philip Seymour Hoffman stars as the eponymous writer in this biographical drama which chronicles the events leading to the publication of his non-fiction book 'In Cold Blood'. In 1959, Truman Capote learns about the horrific murders of the Clutter family in Holcomb, Kansas. Inspired to write about the case, he takes his friend Nelle Harper Lee (Catherine Keener) with him to Holcomb to investigate. As he digs deeper into the story, he decides to expand the project into a book and undertakes extensive interviews with the two killers, particularly Perry Smith (Clifton Collins Jr.). As he works on the book, Capote grows closer to Perry and helps both men find proper legal representation. However, his compassion for Perry's situation conflicts with his need for closure for his book which only an execution can provide. The cast also includes Mark Pellegrino, Bruce Greenwood and Chris Cooper.
