"We don't have to convince everybody that the story should go like this, or like that. We haven't had to defend anything to anybody." - Ethan Coen

The second movie released by the brothers Coen hit cinemas in 1987, and featured Nicolas Cage as petty criminal Herbert "H.I." McDunnough and Holly Hunter as his policewoman wife, Edwina.

Unable to conceive a child, the couple instead coneive a plan to steal someone else's. In true Coen style, it's a plan full of holes, most of which are created by the greed of friends and enemies.

Interestingly, crazed biker Leonard Smalls, who attempts to steal the baby, shares his name with Of Mice and Men's Lennie. But while Lennie wants to take care of rabbits, Leonard kills one with a grenade.
