A história começa quando Llewelyn Moss descobre uma pickup guardada por um grupo de mortos. Um carregamento de heroína e dois milhões de dólares em dinheiro vivo estão ainda na caixa aberta da carrinha. Quando Moss leva consigo o dinheiro, despoleta uma reacção em cadeia de imensa violência, que nem mesmo a lei – na pessoa do velho e desiludido Xerife Bell – consegue travar. Á medida que Moss procura escapar aos seus perseguidores – em particular a uma misteriosa personagem que atira a moeda ao ar para decidir se poupa ou não uma vida – o filme simultaneamente desmonta o género do crime dramático americano e alarga os seus interesses para abordar temas tão antigos como a Bíblia e tão sanguinariamente contemporâneos como os cabeçalhos da manhã.
