| SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN is a mesmerizing new thriller from
Academy Award® winning filmmakers Joel Coen & Ethan
Coen, based on the acclaimed novel by Pulitzer Prize winning
American master Cormac McCarthy. The time is our own, when
rustlers have given way to drug-runners and small towns have
become free-fire zones. Featuring a cast that includes Academy
Award®-winner Tommy Lee Jones ("The Fugitive,"
"Men in Black"), Josh Brolin ("Grindhouse"),
Academy Award®-nominee Javier Bardem ("The Sea Inside"),
Academy Award®-nominee Woody Harrelson ("The People
Vs. Larry Flynt") and Kelly Macdonald ("Trainspotting"),
NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN is written for the screen and directed
by Joel Coen & Ethan Coen, produced by Scott Rudin, Ethan
Coen & Joel Coen and executive produced by Robert Graf
and Mark Roybal.
The story begins when Llewelyn Moss (BROLIN) finds a pickup
truck surrounded by a sentry of dead men. A load of heroin
and two million dollars in cash are still in the back. When
Moss takes the money, he sets off a chain reaction of catastrophic
violence that not even the law - in the person of aging, disillusioned
Sheriff Bell (JONES) - can contain. As Moss tries to evade
his pursuers - in particular a mysterious mastermind who flips
coins for human lives (BARDEM) - the film simultaneously strips
down the American crime drama and broadens its concerns to
encompass themes as ancient as the Bible and as bloodily contemporary
as this morning's headlines.
