Fargo (1996) Netflix UK
Jerry Lundegaard, a desperate car salesman buried in debt, hatches a plan to have his wife kidnapped so he can collect a large ransom from her wealthy father. He hires two small-time crooks to carry out the scheme, expecting a quick, clean payoff — but the plot quickly unravels, violence escalates, and bodies start turning up across the snowy Midwest.
On the other side of the story is Marge Gunderson, the unflappable, very pregnant police chief of the local town. Quiet, observant, and relentless, Marge follows the trail of clues through the tight-knit community, methodically unraveling the bungled conspiracy while maintaining an offhand, compassionate demeanor.
Set against a bleak, wintry landscape, the film mixes deadpan humor and brutal crime, tracking how a seemingly simple, selfish scheme spirals into a grim and tragic mess — and how steady, everyday police work brings the truth to light.
