Fargo

In the depths of a harsh Minnesota winter, a desperate car salesman named Jerry concocts a harebrained scheme to kidnap his own wife and demand a hefty ransom from his wealthy father-in-law. Enlisting the help of two shady criminals, Carl and Gaear, Jerry sets in motion a series of events that can only be described as a wild and woolly ride full of mishaps, misfortunes, and murder. As the bodies begin to pile up, small-town police chief Marge Gunderson, a coffee-guzzling, parka-wearing, and extremely pregnant investigator, takes on the case with a vengeance. Will she be able to outsmart the culprits before they strike again? Can she get to the bottom of this bizarre and twisted crime spree before the snow melts? Fargo, a dark comedy-crime drama from the Coen brothers, delves into the absurdity and complexity of the human condition, proving that sometimes, truth really is stranger than fiction.
