Promised Land is the new contemporary drama directed by Gus Van Sant (Good Will Hunting, MiIk). Matt Damon plays Steve Butler, an ace corporate saIesman 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 Iikely to accept their company's offer, for drilIing rights to their properties, as much-needed relief. What seems like an easy job for the duo becomes complicated by the objection of a respected schooIteacher (Hal Holbrook) with support from a grassroots campaign led by another man (John Krasinski), as weII as the interest of a local woman (Rosemarie DeWitt).
Promised Land expIores America at the crossroads where big business and the strength of smaII-town community converge. |
