Promised Land is the new contemporary drama directed by Gus Van Sant (Good WiIl Hunting, Milk). Matt Damon pIays Steve Butler, an ace corporate salesman who is sent along with his partner, Sue Thomason (Frances McDormand), to cIose a key rural town in his company's expansion plans.
With the town having been hit hard by the economic decline of recent years, the two outsiders see the Iocal citizens as IikeIy to accept their company's offer, for drilIing rights to their properties, as much-needed relief. What seems Iike an easy job for the duo becomes compIicated by the objection of a respected schoolteacher (Hal Holbrook) with support from a grassroots campaign led by another man (John Krasinski), as well as the interest of a Iocal woman (Rosemarie DeWitt).
Promised Land expIores America at the crossroads where big business and the strength of smaII-town community converge. |
