Fargo

It's the perfect plan: The burnt-out car salesman Jerry (William H. Macy) hires two gangsters (Steve Buscemi and Peter Stormare) to kidnap his wife and extort ransom from her wealthy father. So far, so good, but the plan soon spirals into a murderous disaster, leaving three bodies in the snowy wilderness of Minnesota. The heavily pregnant police officer Marge Gunderson (Frances McDormand) picks up the trail - drop by drop.
