no country for old men...

this film is about a man who was hunting (moss) and came across the aftermath of a drug deal gone wrong. their he finds a breif case with alot of money in it. he then takes is back to his trailer home. Later that night he returns but is chased away by two men in a truck and abandons his vehicle. When he gets back home he grabs the cash and sends his wife Carla to her mothers house, and goes to stay in a motel where he hides the money in the air vent of his room.

a hitman has been hired to recover the money. He has already strangled a sheriff's deputy to escape custody and stolen a car. Now he has a receiver that traces the money via a tracking device which is hidden inside the case. he then bursts into Moss's motel room hideout at night and surprises a group of Mexicans set to ambush Moss, but he murders all of them. Moss, who has rented another room which connects his room to the one on the other side, is one step ahead. By the time Chigurh(hitman) removes the vent cover, Moss is already back on the road with the money.

In a border town hotel, Moss finds the electronic bug, but not before Chigurh is near him. A shoot out between them continues onto the streets, this leaves both men wounded. Moss flees across the border, collapsing from his injuries before he is taken to a Mexican hospital. There, Carson Wells (police officer) offers protection in return for the money.

After Chigurh cleans and stitches himself  up with stolen supplies, he gets the drop on Wells back at his hotel and kills him as Moss calls the room. Picking up the call and getting up to not get any blood on him, Chigurh promises Moss that Carla (moss's wife) will go untouched if he gives up the money. but Moss remains defiant.

Moss arranges to meet his wife at a motel to give her the money and send her out the way of the danger. Instead, she reluctantly accepts protection for her husband from Bell, but they reach the rendezvous too late so they see a few Mexicans speeding away from the motel leaving Moss lying dead in his room.

That night, Bell returns to the crime scene and he finds the lock blown out in his suspect's familiar style. Chigurh hides behind the door of a motel room, observing the shifting light through an empty lock hole. His gun drawn, Bell enters Moss's room and notices that the vent cover has been removed with a dime and the vent is empty.
