Fargo (1996)

dir: Ethan Coen, Joel Coen

In the winter of 1987, Minneapolis automobile salesman Jerry Lundegaard (Macy) is in severe financial trouble. After being introduced to criminals Carl Showalter (Buscemi) and Gaear Grimsrud (Stormare) by Native American ex-convict Shep Proudfoot (Steve Reevis), a mechanic at his dealership, Jerry travels to Fargo, North Dakota, and hires the two men to kidnap his wife Jean (Kristin Rudrüd) in exchange for a new car and half of the $80,000 ransom. However, Jerry intends to demand a much larger sum of $1 million from his wealthy but tight-fisted and antagonistic father-in-law, Wade Gustafson (Presnell), and keep most of the money for himself.
