It stars Frances McDormand as a pregnant police chief who investigates a series of homicides, William H. Macy as a car salesman who hires two criminals to kidnap his wife, Steve Buscemi and Peter Stormare as the criminals, and Harve Presnell as the salesman's father-in-law.
The film earned seven Academy Award nominations, winning two for Best Original Screenplay for the Coens and Best Actress in a Leading Role for McDormand. It also won the BAFTA Award and the Award for Best Director for Joel Coen at the 1996 Cannes Film Festival.
In 2006 it was deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" and inducted into the United States National Film Registry.
In the winter of 1987, Minneapolis automobile salesman Jerry Lundegaard (Macy) is in financial trouble. After being introduced to criminals Carl Showalter (Buscemi) and Gaear Grimsrud (Stormare) by Native American ex-convict Shep Proudfoot (Reevis), a mechanic at his dealership, Jerry travels to Fargo, North Dakota, and hires the two men to kidnap his wife Jean (Rudrüd) in exchange for a new car and half of the $80,000 ransom. However, Jerry intends to demand a much larger sum from his wealthy father-in-law, Wade Gustafson (Presnell), and keep most of the money for himself.
Plot
Since the hit-and-run murder of his wife five years ago, Rennie Cray has crisscrossed America in his souped-up, stripped-down '68 Plymouth Barracuda, pursuing her killer. The man he seeks in a high-speed, high-stakes game of cat-and-mouse is James Fargo, a merciless, wheelchair-bound pyschopath. Through a series of mechanical innovations, Fargo has turned his rampaging '72 Cadillac Eldorado into a monstrous extension of his own twisted body and mind. Now, their deadly battle of wits and wills is about to move into overdrive. And caught in their headlights is a tormented beauty who unwittingly holds the key to their ultimate showdown.

Terror hits the road
When murder is no accident, revenge is no crime.
[last lines]::Fargo: Who are you supposed to be?::Will Macklin: Will Macklin. State traffic investigator.
Will Macklin: You're just driving...::James 'Rennie' Cray: ...He prefers major highways, see he likes to speed. With fall coming, he'll stick pretty much to the western/southwestern states. He has a sixth sense for hick towns with speed traps and manages to avoid them. He loves tunnels, drive through restaurants. He hates drawbridges, will go miles out of his way to avoid one. Used to stop for repairs too, but he's gotten pretty good at taking care of that himself. You can patch a punctured lung just as easily as a flat tire.
[first lines]::James 'Rennie' Cray: Olivia!
James 'Rennie' Cray: Can I give you ride?::Molly Poole: Somebody's meeting me.::James 'Rennie' Cray: What about later?::Molly Poole: It's kind of a bad time.::James 'Rennie' Cray: I didn't say we'd enjoy ourselves.::Molly Poole: You promise?::James 'Rennie' Cray: We'll be pitiful.
James 'Rennie' Cray: His headlights are like his eyes, only one works.

Priscilla S. Asagiri "Priss": You little idiot! If you die, what will Sylvie have died for?
Largo: Dead, eh? Or rather, I imagine it would be more exact to say it has ceased functioning. It IS a machine after all.::Priscilla S. Asagiri "Priss": You bastard!::[fires railgun]::Largo: [catching the spike] Is this all your anger amounts to?
Largo: Human beings... how vulgar. For the crime of injuring me, a god, I demand, as atonement, death!
Lisa Vanette: Do you know about the Knight Sabers?::Sylia Stingray: Uh-huh, I've heard about them.::Lisa Vanette: Why do you suppose they fight boomers? I hear they take their clients for lots of money, but... I wonder... if they're supposed to be the good guys.::Sylia Stingray: What do you think?::Lisa Vanette: I don't know... But fighting boomers means taking on Genom, doesn't it? For a mere four people to take on such a large corporation is just... well... Genom makes a lot of things that make wars possible. But they also make boomers that are useful to society. And if the Knight Sabers actually defeated Genom, the world woudl come to a halt. What I want to know is, just what are the Knight Sabers trying to accomplish?::Sylia Stingray: Well... what do you think would happen if Genom were to take over the world?::Lisa Vanette: I guess the cities would be wall-to-wall boomers.::Sylia Stingray: In which case, there'd be no place for we humans, right? For every good thing Genom does for the world, it also does something bad. I don't think the Knight Sabers could keep fighting if they only did nice, clean jobs. The development of boomers for military applications also led to boomers that were useful to society. I think the world would be thrown into chaos if this balance wasn't carefully mantained. Maybe the Knight Sabers are a part of that balance. To continue such activities would require a great deal of money, too... or so I would imagine.
Priscilla S. Asagiri "Priss": You'd better work out, or you won't be able to fit in your suit.::Nene Romanova: Ha! I contribute to the Knight Sabers with my good looks and amazing brain. I never want to be such an ape woman like you are. Besides, if you really are as hot as you say you are then how come I had to give you a speeding ticket?
Leon McNichol: One of these days, I'll uncover the truth about you.::Brian J. Mason: Be careful what you say, little puppy.::Leon McNichol: Even a little puppy can nibble an sleazebag like you to death!

And as for you, Vince, if you want to trash your life, go ahead. But do it your own time, not mine! YOU HEAR THAT?::Vince: [sarcastically] YES... SIR.
Jake: [Jake and the Scars are sitting on the bleachers on the track field outside of Vince's school... Vince runs up] What's going on, Vinnie?::Vince: It's all over school, Jake... the girl we raped.

Now tell me where I can find that bitch who cut me.
Brenda: [Brenda confronts Fargo and Red in the warehouse] Welcome home... ASSHOLES!::Fargo: You must be out of your mind, coming here!::Red: [laughs] Maybe she's looking for a little bit of what we gave her sister, huh?::Fargo: Maybe she's looking for a whole lot more than what we gave her sister!
Vince: For Christ's sake... it's wasn't my fault!::Brenda: [flicks open switchblade] You're gonna die, Vince.
Plot
The name Michael O'Hara has become synonimous with law enforcement. There have been three generations of Michael O'Hara's and all have been exemplary policemen. When Michael O'Hara III's child was born he was told that they will not be able to have any more children, and there has always been a Michael O'Hara, so he named his child Michael O'Hara IV despite the fact that she is a girl. Now Mike has a tendency to get involved with police matters and not always with good results, which annoys her father. And despite being told repeatedly to stay out of it, she continues her amateurish detective activities.

Faggot, faggot
they called as I walked down the street
faggot, faggot
your words don't mean shit to me
sick of your words sick of this town
if this is a fight i'm standing my ground
I can't believe this country is my home
stuck in fargo north dakota
fuck you, redneck fuck
the power behind your fist bespeaks the depth of your ignorance
booze and blood and sexual confusion
i remember everything
your smile your hands
and the strength that they had
blood on this floor and it will never come clean
faggot, faggotseething sound of your bigotry
forget, forget
the love of the god you're calling down on me
i'm tired of ignoring your threats
tired of the religion you pervert
take my freedom to exist for granted at home
won't make that mistake in north dakota
and when i walk your threat will be there and when i get up
your boot will be there
i've got your blood on my hands
