While hunting in the West Texas desert, Llewelyn Moss stumbles on the aftermath of a drug deal gone wrong and walks away with two million dollars in cash. The money puts him on Anton Chigurh's path, a hitman unlike any the region has seen. And somewhere behind both of them, aging Sheriff Ed Tom Bell tries to make sense of a world that no longer fits the categories he was raised with. A neo-Western about fate, violence, and the limits of moral order.

Plot Summary

No Country for Old Men is a 2007 American neo-Western crime thriller produced, directed, and written by Joel and Ethan Coen. Based on Cormac McCarthy's 2005 novel of the same name, the film follows three men whose paths intersect in the desert landscape of 1980 West Texas: Llewelyn Moss (Josh Brolin), a Vietnam veteran who finds a fortune that is not his; Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem), a hitman sent to recover the money; and Ed Tom Bell (Tommy Lee Jones), a sheriff investigating the chain of events. The cast also includes Woody Harrelson as bounty hunter Carson Wells, Kelly Macdonald as Carla Jean Moss, and Tess Harper. Cinematography is by Roger Deakins, with a score by Carter Burwell. The film premiered in competition at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival and was given a limited US release on November 9, 2007, before going wide. It grossed $171 million worldwide against a $25 million budget. At the 80th Academy Awards, it won four awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor for Bardem, and Best Adapted Screenplay. It also won three BAFTAs and two Golden Globes. Core themes include fate, moral order, violence, aging, and the indifference of the world to human suffering. The film is widely regarded as one of the defining American films of the 2000s.
