Bill Paxton, Bridget Fonda, and (in an Oscar-nominated role) Billy Bob Thornton star in this cash-grab crime thriller directed by Sam Raimi (The Evil Dead), with an Academy Award-nominated script from Scott B Smith, adapting his own novel.
Captivated by the lure of sudden wealth, the quiet rural lives of two brothers erupt into conflicts of greed, paranoia and distrust when over $4 million in cash is discovered at the remote site of a downed small airplane. Their simple plan to retain the money while avoiding detection opens a Pandora's box when the fear of getting caught triggers panicked behaviour and leads to virulent consequences.
