In a seedy Texas den, a jealous bar owner hires a shady private eye to kill his wife and her lover. But nothing goes as planned. The killer has a secret plan to make the most money from his dirty job, which embroils the trio in a diabolical double game that will spill blood.

With their stylish and hard-boiled low-budget film, the previously unknown brothers Ethan and Joel Coen managed to revive the film noir genre for a new generation. Critics and audiences fell head over heels and the breakthrough was a fact. Which also applies to Frances McDormand, who made her acting debut on the big screen here. Just over a decade later, she won her first Oscar for her role in the brothers' Fargo.
