Simple Plan, A

Simple Plan, A

1998

When two brothers (Bill Paxton and Billy Bob Thornton) find a body and a bundle of cash in a downed plane, they plot to hide the loot and split it later. It's a simple plan ... until things go murderously awry. Director Sam Raimi's adaptation of Scott B. Smith's best-selling novel contains masterful performances and a bone-chilling sense of mounting evil.

Sometimes good people do evil things.

User Reviews

  • Excellent film, about what kind of evil good men and women can do when money 4.4 million dollars comes into their lives; full of tension, greed, regret, and the full spectrum of human emotions by an outstanding cast (yes, even Bill Paxton).
