Synopsis

Jerry Lundegaard (William H. Macy) is a car salesman in Minneapolis who has gotten himself into debt. He is so desperate for money that he hires two thugs (Steve Buscemi & Peter Stormare) to kidnap his own wife in order to extort a large ransom from his wealthy father-in-law. The plan is to collect the ransom, pay the thugs a small fee and keeping the rest to pay off his debts. The scheme collapses when the thugs shoot a state trooper. Now in the hot pursuit of the bungling men is the very pregnant police chief Marge Gunderson.
