Plot Summary
Hitman Anton Chigurh is arrested in Texas in 1980. He escapes by strangling the sheriff’s deputy and stealing a car by killing the driver with a captive bolt pistol. Later, he spares the life of a gas station owner for correctly calling a coin toss. Llewelyn Moss is hunting pronghorns in the desert. He comes across the aftermath of a drug deal gone wrong, finding several dead men, a wounded Mexican man begging for water, drugs in a truck, and a briefcase containing $2 million in cash. He takes the briefcase and returns home. Feeling guilty, he returns with water that night but finds the man dead. He looks up to the ridge and sees two men with guns who pursue him in a truck.
He escapes by diving into a river. After making his way back home, Moss sends his wife, Carla Jean, to stay with her mother. Chigurh is hired to recover the missing money; meanwhile, Terrell County Sheriff Ed Tom Bell begins investigating the failed drug deal. Chigurh searches Moss’s trailer home, using his bolt pistol to blow out the door lock. Moss takes a taxi to a motel in Del Rio, where he hides the briefcase in his room’s air duct. When Moss returns to the motel after purchasing new boots, he sees the curtains in his room in a different position from when he left, and rightly assumes he has been found.
Following a tracking device hidden in the case, Chigurh goes to Moss’s motel and kills three Mexican mobsters who were waiting for Moss in his room. Moss has rented a second room adjacent to his first room with access to the duct where the money is hidden. He retrieves the briefcase before Chigurh opens the duct. Moving to a motel in the border town of Eagle Pass, Moss discovers the tracking device, but Chigurh has already found him.
