Set in the 1980s in West Texas, it follows the lives of three major characters. It starts with Llewellyn Moss, a Vietnam War veteran who finds a huge amount of money in the desert, Anton Chigurh, a Hitman who is recruited to find the money, and Ed Tom Bell, a sheriff who is instructed to investigate the case.

The film features Tommy Lee Jones, Javier Bardem, Josh Brolin, Kelly McDonald, and Woody Harrelson, to name a few. Almost two decades later, here's a look at where the cast of No Country for Old Men is now.

Javier Bardem's role as the methodical Hitman, Anton Chigurh, remains one of the most chilling antagonist performances to date. With his cold and emotionless personality, unsettling pageboy haircut, and the scary coin tosses that determine the fate of his victims, Chigurh became the symbol of fear. Bardem won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role as Anton Chigurh in No Country for Old Men.

Javier Bardem is one of the most versatile actors in Hollywood. He expanded his craft with his performances in projects like Skyfall, Biutiful, and Eat Pray Love. Recently, he appeared in F1: The Movie as Ruben Cervantes, as Estaban Martinez in The Beloved, and as Max Cady in Cape Fear. Some of his upcoming projects include Dune: Part Three, Porto Rico, Hello & Paris, and Bunker.

He appeared in iconic shows/movies such as True Grit, Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, Hail, Caesar!, Sicario, and the Dune franchise. He also founded his production company, Brolin Productions, in 2024. Recently, he appeared in The American Revolution, Weapons, The Running Man, and Wake Up Dead Man.
