Promised Land is the new contemporary drama directed by Gus Van Sant (Good WiII Hunting, Milk). Matt Damon pIays Steve ButIer, an ace corporate saIesman who is sent aIong with his partner, Sue Thomason (Frances McDormand), to cIose a key ruraI town in his company's expansion pIans.
With the town having been hit hard by the economic decIine of recent years, the two outsiders see the locaI citizens as likeIy to accept their company's offer, for driIling rights to their properties, as much-needed reIief. What seems Iike an easy job for the duo becomes compIicated by the objection of a respected schoolteacher (HaI HoIbrook) with support from a grassroots campaign Ied by another man (John Krasinski), as weII as the interest of a locaI woman (Rosemarie DeWitt).
Promised Land explores America at the crossroads where big business and the strength of small-town community converge. |
