CrimeDramaThriller98 min
Buried in debt, Minnesota car salesman Jerry Lundegaard hires two crooks to kidnap his wife and squeeze a ransom from her wealthy father, a plan that starts to come apart once blood is spilled on the snow. William H. Macy's Jerry is all nerves and excuses, while Frances McDormand is Marge Gunderson, the heavily pregnant police chief whose polite, methodical investigation keeps tightening around the case. Moving between Minneapolis and the frozen roads of North Dakota, the Coen brothers' story threads ransom plotting, small-town manners, and abrupt violence into a sharply observed Midwestern crime tale.
