No Country for Old Men is a critically acclaimed 2007 neo-Western crime thriller, written, directed, and edited by Joel and Ethan Coen, based on Cormac McCarthy's 2005 novel. Set in the stark landscape of 1980 West Texas, the film follows Vietnam veteran Llewelyn Moss (Josh Brolin) after he stumbles upon a large sum of drug money, igniting a brutal pursuit by the psychopathic hitman Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem). Meanwhile, the contemplative Sheriff Ed Tom Bell (Tommy Lee Jones) investigates the escalating violence, exploring themes of fate, conscience, and circumstance.

The film premiered at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival and became a significant commercial and critical success, praised for the Coen brothers' direction and Bardem's chilling performance. It swept the awards season, notably winning four Academy Awards, including Best Picture – making it one of only four Western films ever to achieve this honor – along with three BAFTAs and two Golden Globes. Widely regarded as the Coen brothers' magnum opus and one of the greatest films of the 21st century, "No Country for Old Men" was selected for preservation in the U.S. National Film Registry by the Library of Congress in 2024.
