'Fargo'

Joel and Ethan Cohen's classic and critically-acclaimed star-studded comedy/thriller is coming to 4K in a Collector's Edition UHD Blu-ray on November 7. A deluxe limited edition version is available on shoutfactory.com.

In this seven-time Oscar®-nominated film, things go terribly awry when small-time Minnesota car salesman Jerry Lundegaard (William H. Macy) hires two thugs (Steve Buscemi and Peter Stormare) to kidnap his wife so he can collect the ransom from his wealthy father-in-law. Once people start dying, the very chipper and very pregnant Police Chief Marge Gunderson (Frances McDormand) takes the case. Is she up for this challenge? You betcha.
