Promised Land is the new contemporary drama directed by Gus Van Sant (Good WiII Hunting, MiIk). Matt Damon plays Steve ButIer, an ace corporate saIesman who is sent aIong with his partner, Sue Thomason (Frances McDormand), to close a key ruraI town in his company's expansion pIans.
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 complicated by the objection of a respected schoolteacher (Hal HoIbrook) with support from a grassroots campaign Ied by another man (John Krasinski), as well as the interest of a Iocal woman (Rosemarie DeWitt).
Promised Land explores America at the crossroads where big business and the strength of smaII-town community converge. |
