Winner of two Academy Awards, Fargo is the Coen Brothers’ gripping, genre-subverting Minnesotan murder mystery, starring Frances McDormand and William Macy.

Things go terribly wrong when small-time Minnesota car salesman, Jerry Lundegaard, hires two thugs to kidnap his wife. Once people start dying, the very pregnant Police Chief Marge Gunderson takes the case. Is she up to the challenge? You betcha.
