Local mail carrier Georgie Wits (Dern), gathers up items for his route, including a decorative lunchbox addressed to Milton. Meanwhile, in a rapeseed field, Dwayne McLaren (Hemsworth) and his girlfriend Cassandra Steeley (Palmer) film a promotional spot for Cut Bank in preparation for Cassandra's upcoming local beauty pageant. As Dwayne films Cassandra, Georgie's mail truck comes into view. Georgie gets out of the truck and is approached by a large man who shoots him. Dwayne and Cassandra hide in the rapeseed while he continues to film the attack. The man fires a second shot into Georgie, and then picks up his body and loads it into the mail truck. Dwayne and Cassandra immediately report what happened to her father Stan (Thornton). Sheriff Vogel (Malkovich) arrives and views the tape, which presents him with the first murder case Cut Bank has had. The next day, Dwayne drops off a copy of the video at the local post office. The postmaster has already filled out an application for Dwayne to receive the standard six-figure reward for reporting a crimesolving tip for any violence against a postal worker. US Postal Inspector Joe Barrett (Platt) arrives in Cut Bank to inspect the body and confirm the reward for Dwayne. Meanwhile, Georgie's murderer is seen destroying his mail truck and putting the pieces in a storage container, along with the parcel for Milton. He then visits a trailer in a junkyard, where Georgie is hiding. Georgie pays the man, who is a mute Native American named Match (Burke). Milton inquires at the post office about his parcel. When he is informed about Georgie's murder, he visits the scene of the crime and takes note of the large size of Match's bootprint. He visits a local shoe store and discovers Match's identity, because his size 16 foot required a special order. Milton drives to Match's home and asks where he took the mail. When Match does not tell him, a scuffle breaks out, and Milton kills Match. At the trailer, Georgie is still hiding out, when Dwayne visits him. He explains that Georgie has to keep the lights and the TV off and keep the space clean, because Stan Steeley is showing the junkyard to prospective buyers. It becomes clear that Dwayne and Georgie concocted the scheme to split the reward money. Soon after, Stan discovers Georgie hiding underneath the trailer. Georgie attacks Stan with some bolt cutters and hides his body in a the back of a van on the lot. Milton tracks down Georgie at the trailer and confronts him about the location of the mail from his truck. He viciously murders Georgie with a crowbar. When the police arrive to process the murder scene, they are stunned to find Stan is still alive in the back of the van. As Stan recovers, Dwayne realizes that someone has figured out his scheme. He and Cassandra decide to leave Cut Bank immediately after the pageant. Having figured out Dwayne's role in the scheme, Milton confronts him at the pageant. Dwayne races home and retrieves a rifle, but Milton has already unloaded it. Milton holds him at gunpoint, and when Cassandra arrives after winning the pageant, he takes her hostage as well. Dwayne drives Milton to the storage unit. He uses the cap of his Copenhagen to scratch "911" into the driver's side door, hoping the security officer will notice it as they drive onto the storage lot. Inside the storage unit, Milton quickly finds his parcel and thanks Dwayne for helping him find it. When he notices Dwayne's "911" message, however, he places two large envelopes over Dwayne and Cassandra's heads, seals them with duct tape, and locks the storage unit. At the security gate, he is preparing to shoot the guard when Sheriff Vogel calls for Milton to come out of the vehicle. Milton drives towards Vogel instead, shooting as he goes. Vogel shoots and kills Milton, who crashes into a tree. Vogel rescues Dwayne and Cassandra. Having worked out the entire scheme, Vogel and the recovered Stan summon Dwayne to the morgue. Vogel has Dwayne put a bulletproof vest underneath Georgie's corpse as he puts a silencer on his gun. He explains to Dwayne that he should leave town and never expect such a favor again. He shoots Georgie's corpse twice, and then presents the body to Inspector Barrett. The film ends as Dwayne and Cassandra drive out of town on their way to Los Angeles. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cut Bank (film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
