Promised Land

Steve Butler (Matt Damon) is a corporate salesman with a recognition for getting outcomes. When the corporation he works for draws up plans to drill for natural fuel in an economically depressed farming community, Steve and his associate (Frances McDormand) try to convince the locals that they have got an opportunity to take advantage of the project. At first the locals are welcoming, but whilst venerable instructor Frank Yates (Hal Holbrook) voices objection, worried locals Dustin (John Krasinski) and Alice (Rosemarie DeWitt) help to release an effective grassroots marketing campaign towards the drilling. tt2091473
