Product Description:
THREE MEN ARE EMBROILED IN MISTRUST, MURDER AND INTRIGUE WHEN THEY FIND FOUR MILLION DOLLARS IN A CRASHED PLANE.
Amazon.com:
An endless white landscape of rolling hills and snow-blanketed forests. A lonely acoustic score (by Danny Elfman) playing in the background. A vision of rural simplicity portrayed in hushed tones. The stillness is about to shatter. Brothers Hank (Bill Paxton), an accountant at a small-town feed store, and Jacob (Billy Bob Thornton), an unemployed, hygienically challenged dim bulb, accompanied by Jacob's oafish pal Lou (Brent Briscoe), stumble across a downed plane in the brush containing a corpse and a sack containing millions of dollars--surely the aftermath of a drug deal, they conclude. Greed overcomes good sense, and the three agree to hide the money for a year and keep the secret to themselves. A simple plan indeed, and it doesn't take long for it to go all to hell as the lure of wealth tears at kinship and friendship, and the ruthless machinations of impetuous partners leave a body count in its wake. Bridget Fonda costars as Hank's wife, whose initial hesitation gives way to cold-blooded plotting. Sam Raimi, best known for wowing audiences with stylistic gymnastics and manic mayhem, directs this quietly desperate thriller with chilly restraint, finding its cold, tragic heart in the estranged relationship between Hank and Jacob: the college boy blind to the truth of his own family and the town loser whose tortured soul reveals a humanity lost on his brother (a brilliant performance by Thornton). Adapted by Scott B. Smith from his acclaimed novel. --Sean Axmaker

The Coen Brothers released Fargo in 1996 to much critical acclaim. I've watched it many times. In 1998 Sam Raimi took a break from making horror and Batman movies to release A Simple Plan. It largely escaped attention.
Both were filmed in and feature Minnesota in mid-winter. Both films are humorous in a droll sort of way and pack a lot of surprises. If you liked Fargo, I think you'll like A Simple Plan. A bonus is that you can see Jane Fonda's niece, Peter Fonda's daughter and Henry Fonda's ... Read More

Maybe things aren't so simple after all.
A Simple Plan's premise is the basis for definite discussion; it is the kind of film that will make you think about how you may have acted in similar circumstances. You may find yourself going along with the film and criticizing the moves by the main conspirators who stumble upon a bag full of money in the snow. On one level, this is a film about trust and deception, as we see the three concoct this plan of keeping the money one year to decide ... Read More

My vhs of "A Simple Plan" broke. I found this seller on ebay, and the price was right. Everything was as advertised. The movie was new, and played well. The shipping was also very fast. I would certainly buy from this seller again.

The Bottom Line:
A film that transcends its thriller roots so thoroughly that by the conclusion you wouldn't be mistaken wondering why it didn't get a Best Picture nomination, A Simple Plan is a success on every level (including the rare feat of being better than the source novel) and a must-see for anyone who likes the thriller genre, enjoys good films, or imagines what they would do if they stumbled upon 4 million dollars...
4/4

This movie should be a classic. It really shows how the 'best laid plans' can fall apart. I like Billy Bob Thornton in almost every movie I've seen him in.
