FARGO (1996), the critically acclaimed reality-based dark comedy/crime drama from The Coen Brothers, stars Frances McDormand, William H. Macy, Steve Buscemi, and Peter Stormare. The story is set in Minnesota in 1987. Jerry Lundegaard (Macy) is a car salesman in Minneapolis who has gotten himself into debt and is so desperate for money that he hires two thugs (Buscemi and Stormare) to kidnap his own wife. Jerry will collect the ransom from her wealthy father (Harve Presnell), paying the thugs a small portion and keeping the rest to satisfy his debts. The scheme collapses when the thugs shoot a state trooper.
