No Country for Old Men

No Country for Old Men received eight Academy Award nominations. The Oscars will be held on February 24, 2008 on ABC - 5pm PT/8pm ET

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.
