Jerry Lundegaard, a car salesman from Minnesota, and his incompetent henchmen are foiled by the dogged policing of the very pregnant Marge Gunderson. The Coen Brothers’ film Fargo tells the story of Jerry’s ill-conceived plan to have his wife kidnapped and held for ransom, which ultimately leads to a series of violent and deadly events. Despite Jerry’s attempts to cover his tracks and avoid getting caught, Marge’s sharp investigative skills and unwavering determination ultimately brought him to justice. The film’s dark humor and quirky characters, such as the bumbling criminals and Marge’s heavily pregnant but fearless demeanor, have made it a cult classic in the crime thriller genre. The film is a darkly comedic and suspenseful tale of crime and punishment in the frozen tundra of Minnesota.
