In this film nominated for seven OSCARS things go terribly awry when small-time Minnesota car salesman Jerry Lundegaard (William H. Macy) hires two thugs (Steve Buscemi & Peter Stormare) to kidnap his wife so he can collect the ransom from his wealthy father-in-law. Once people start dying the very chipper & very pregnant Police Chief Marge (Frances Mc Dormand) takes the case. Will she stop at nothing until she gets her man? You betcha.
