Nominated for seven Oscars, including Best Picture, and winner of two (Actress and Original Screenplay), this darkly amusing thriller combines a first-rate cast, a dazzling mix of mirth and malice and an unusual kidnapping plot that unravels the Midwest like never before.
Jerry (William H Macy), a small Minnesota town car salesman, is bursting at the seams with debt...but he's got a plan. He's gonna hire two thugs (Steve Buscemi and Peter Stormare) to kidnap his wife in a scheme to collect a hefty ransom from his wealthy father-in-law. It's gonna be a snap and nobody's gonna get hurt...until people start dying.
Enter Police Chief Marge Gunderson (Frances McDormand), a coffee-drinking, parka-wearing - and extremely pregnant - investigator who'll stop at nothing to get her man. And if you think her small-time investigative skills will give the crooks a run for their ransom....you betcha!
