A car salesman hires a couple of screw-ups to kidnap his wife. When the crime goes wrong, he is pursued by the local sheriff.

There's much to like here, a great cast and good plot twists are only a couple. Acclaimed offbeat mystery, based on a true story, appeals especially to fans of black comedy and murder mysteries.

Academy Awards for Best Actress (Frances McDormand) and Best Original Screenplay.

Directed by Joel Coen.
