Fargo is the 1996 Academy Award winning quirky drama showcasing the Minnesota Nice phenomenon at its most revealing and wackiest, from writers-directors The Coen Brothers (No Country For Old Men, True Grit). Jerry Lundegaard (William H. Macy, Jurassic Park III) is a ne'er do well car salesman for this acerbic father in law Wade Gustafson (Harve Presnell, Saving Private Ryan) who can never get a break in life from his wealthy in law. Desperately needing money for some unrevealed purpose, he sets up a scenario wherein he will have his wife kidnapped by professional thugs and then split up the ransom money between them. He contracts dynamic duo Carl Showalter (Steve Buscemi, Desperado) and Gaer Grimsrud (Peter Stormare, The Lost World: Jurassic Park) to do the deed and once they do, one tragically comic incident after another befalls the whole enterprise, threatening to spiral out of the tenuous bonds of control that Jerry has over the situation.moreless
