Over the course of the film, numerous flashbacks dramatizing various events in Simpson's life from his first meeting with Nicole in 1977, to growing up in San Francisco in the 1960s, to O.J. and Nicole's romance and marriage in 1985 which gradually descended into domestic squabbles over Simpson's selfish and controlling behavior to Nicole's descent into depression and drug use. Following the murders (which are never shown on-camera), Simpson panics and takes flight which ends with the infamous 'Bronco chase' and Simpson's arrest.[5]
