Movie-Film Production Information Summary:

The plot follows the interweaving paths of the three central characters (Llewelyn Moss, Anton Chigurh, and Ed Tom Bell) set in motion by events related to a drug deal gone bad near the Mexican-American border in southwest Texas in Terrell County.

While Llewelyn Moss is hunting antelope, he stumbles across the aftermath of a drug-related gun battle which has left everyone dead except a single badly-wounded Mexican. Moss finds a truck full of heroin and a satchel with $2.4 million in cash. Leaving the Mexican alive, he takes the money, which ignites a hunt for him that stretches for most of the remaining novel. He sends his wife, Carla Jean Moss, to her mother while he leaves his home with the money.
