Promised Land

“What's your price?”

In a small rural Pennsylvania town, where the farms are failing and the diner doubles as the town hall, two natural gas salesmen arrive to buy up drilling rights. Steve Butler (Matt Damon) and his partner Sue Thomason (Frances McDormand) go door to door, and Gus Van Sant lets the conversations run long on porches and in kitchens. Steve has always closed these deals easily, because he grew up in a town like this one.
