No Country for Old Men is a 2007 film written, directed, and produced by Joel and Ethan Coen. Adapted from the well-received Cormac McCarthy novel of the same name, No Country for Old Men draws heavily on McCarthy's themes of chance and fate; it tells the story of a drug deal gone wrong and the ensuing cat-and-mouse drama as three men crisscross each other's paths in the desert landscape of 1980 West Texas. It stars Tommy Lee Jones, Josh Brolin, and Javier Bardem.

Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times called it "as good a film as the Coen brothers…have ever made."
A Guardian journalist said the film proved "that the Coens' technical abilities, and their feel for a landscape-based western classicism reminiscent of Anthony Mann and Sam Peckinpah, are matched by few living directors."
No Country for Old Men won Golden Globe Awards for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role and Best Screenplay.
