A Simple Plan follows Hank Mitchell, his brother Jacob, and a friend who stumble upon a crashed plane containing four million dollars in cash. What begins as a seemingly straightforward plan to keep the money quietly unravels into a darkening spiral of deception, moral compromise, and tragic consequences. Director Sam Raimi crafts a gripping neo-noir thriller that examines how ordinary people are corrupted by greed and desperation.
Sam Raimi: three men find $4 million in a crashed plane and agree to keep it. Every subsequent decision is the simple plan failing. Coen-adjacent doom, executed.
